[Typo3-dev] Make configuration simple

Yes, this comes up a lot.

Possibly call it "Edit page settings"

Header means nothing until you 'learn' what it means.

Related to this is the organisation of stuff that relates to a specific
page.

1) Page Header
2) Page Content
3) List view items

These are in three different places and should be accessible from the one
view.

The main BE menu bar is now collapsible, so why not have all this 'Web >
Page' content on the one page and collapsible to keep the view clean.

The frame is already laid out in sections:

Page content
SEARCH
ADVANCED FUNCTIONS

So all is needed are a couple more.

The next big example, is clicking a sysfolder in page view, it shows the
ability to add new content and gives no hint of what lies beneath in List
view.

Even further still is the fact that in Web > Page view the screen is taken
up by 8 ways of creating new content in that frame alone!

And excluding the popup context menu there are 2 ways to do the other
features like, move page, edit page header etc.

A single well designed icon bar should give focus to one place to control
the features and so become more intuitive as well as clean up the
interface.

Happy days,
Matthew
