[Kimchi-devel] [RFC] Wok / Ginger sidebar

[Daniel Henrique Barboza]

I want to mention that the sidebars of ginger_sidebar_1 and 
ginger_storage2 ,
as far as I've understood, it's just a 'shortcut' to show the selected 
feature while
hiding the other ones. This is not exactly what I had in mind when I first
proposed the sidebar layout. I was thinking about an exclusive content
panel, containing only the selected feature and nothing else.

Also, this does not solve the problem Ginger has with multiple second
level tabs - we're keeping all tabs and changing only their inner layout. My
first idea was to put all Ginger features in the "Administration" tab, with
sections and subsections in the sidebar. We would have the "Storage" section
and the submenus would be the name of each feature the tab holds today
(File systems, SAN adapters ...). Same thing with the rest of Ginger second
level tabs.
