Re: Number of clicks with new Admin menu

Unlurking for a brief comment:

The phplayersmenu (go to http://phplayersmenu.sourceforge.net/   to see 
it at work) provides a menu system which would give drupal both the menu 
now supported with click unfold, and some other schemes like mouse-over 
layers unfolding.
The latter gives you one click to any content in the menu.

Is it totally uninteresting to see if it can be integrated? The menu 
system is able to dig into a db to find the content and labels.
