And in regards to the option of specifying the whole admin tab structure interface in XML, you'd still want a hook just after the loading of the XML file so you can programatically modify the menu structures.
The use of an XML file for the whole admin structure would also clean up the admin/index.cfm a helluva lot.
The existing hardcoded admin visibility and access can be controlled through the role based security model. The admin area can be supplemented by custom admin tabs. v2.2 will see the introduction of the ability to override the "My FarCry" page and the admin CSS. That should be enough to see most anybody through.
FarCry admin is something that has evolved somewhat erractically. And cleaning it up would be nice. We've often discussed the introduction of an entirely XML driven tab interface. But at the moment there is no real driver for this. It's a task that is going to introduce a lot of instability into the code base with not a great deal to gain. So although it remains a goal -- it's realistically a fair-ways off.
