This wiki page has an associated Blueprint on launchpad.

Currently, settings are put together in a "flat" manner, ie. related settings are sometimes not grouped together, which causes confusion and eats children. If that was not enough, admin commands are mixed in, too, and it's soon going to be a real mess when scripting/modules/other becomes usable. This is why I think commands should be put away from settings (and that's why I wont be talking about admin commands here) and that settings should be organized in a better way.

Goals

  • Structured settings tree (Give the rim(flat!) a break! Hug a tree instead!)
  • Put a line between admin command and setting
  • Ghost settings (allowing a setting to be set BEFORE it gets declared)
  • nSettingItem backward compatibility
  • Attempt making cheating harder (but break compatibility :<)
