sites page on new site, more thoughts

I tinkered with the new site stuff a bit, and implemented the sites page (http://new.php.net/res/sites/). It isn't very pretty, and doesn't have a form for submissions. But all the content is coming out of a database (and I imported everything from the current sites page into the database). I'm not sure why we would want to have the interface to editing this be structured like the admin.php.net stuff. I think it would be more convenient if the administration interface looked exactly like this page, but with small icons next to each entry to allow editing/deletion/approval, with those only being visible if the user has a special cookie set (which may contain the username/password for doing the authentication when actually making changes). I guess the actual edit page could be like the current admin.php.net stuff -- it's just the 'browsing' of the various categories that would move onto the site itself. Obviously that cookie wouldn't be honored when viewing one of the static versions of the site (ie. anything other than the site which gets used to generate the 'live' site that actually mirrored). Am I making sense? I can take a whack at implementing what I'm talking about if it will help. Jim
