[Discussion] Changes in Admin section to make it more productive and fast to access

Question

There's no denying that admin section in Q2A is good but there's still a lot of room for improvement. So tell me what do you think about these suggestions?

1.  Most of the time we click on admin, we land on the General page. Change to something useful like Stats page or moderation page. No one in the right mind would like to change General page settings on a regular basis and that's why even WP keeps it separate. 
2. Show some regularly visited admin pages as a submenu on the main website for Admins and Moderators for fast access. Pages like stats, moderation, hidden, flagged can be shown in submenu at all times for quick access and this way even moderators will get to know whether there are some new posts in moderation (because only admin gets the email).
3. You tell me if there are any new things you would like to made admin section better but using the existing features only. 

All that I am saying is, why not use the existing features and make admin sections slightly better to use and fast to access. What do you say about this?

It is good idea. It will be better to have dashboard kind of plugin(check Wordpress) which can show stat, quick links, post moderation etc. When admin/moderator logs in it should show dashboard by default.

Answer 1

I think that moderation should be improved. When we click a button to aprove a content, it spends some seconds to 'get approved'. I think that a kind of 'bulk approve' would be a great improvement.
