 == Menus ==
-Main outstanding task on this is to have the Modules menu show which module we're currently in.
- * The Auth menu already does this.
+The current 3 menu system should be migrated to a single menu to take upo less screen real estate & provide a consistent UI experience.
 
-The Modules menu could be moved to a single dropdown - located below the Login box.
+Ideally this would be loaded once & then cached (e.g. have the system generate a static menu.js which can then be loaded/cached)
 
-The Auth menu should be migrated to using the same style as the Modules/Options menus.
+We should always know where in the system we are.
+ * e.g. Chevron-style breadcrumbs (e.g. http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/usa)
+ * e.g. Highlight the active menu item using CSS (JS to set this would be in the main body template, rather than in menu.js)
 
-Replace the current menus with Breadcrumb-style Chevrons, e.g.:
- * http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/usa
-Enhance these with dropdown menus, like in T3:

+ExtJS menus are flexible & can allow DRY creation of navigation elements (buttons/menus):
