IMHO a good admin gui should integrate with the framework / cms you use to really benefit from LiveUser! E.g.

Once we have that I'm all for some > refactoring (liveuser2) :) Hm, maybe we could provide some "frequently used quick start configurations" ? or an additional configuration layer that hides some of the config stuff (e.g. aliasing) but makes it very easy to set it up with default settings!? And what about the open bugs - any ideas how to fix them? AFAIK there are some problems with the filter implementation. Are you all happy with it or any suggestions what / how to improve that?
