The real estate of the main page is limited so any redundancy should go.

Avian did, IMHO, a nice job of getting a lot of information on the main page without making it too busy. I've been trying to add more without debasing Avian's original design. Hence, things like the scrolling history.

That's probably doable. However, I still need to see how the Joomla Gallery looks and get it implemented. I'll need some photos for it but I suppose I could just toss in a few test photos.

The idea would be to color code them. For example, regular members in white, patrons in gold, admins some other color which will contrast well against the blue background.

Forgot to mention that but you're right. The real issue is that I could show a longer view into the Pending Queue (ie., the coming up items on the main page if it was permissible) but I have no way of knowing what will be pulled from the request queue.

The one admin page I recently put together shows this clearly. Perhaps, on Thursday, I will capture one such page and show all in this thread. I'll blank out usernames but you'll get a better understanding since the page shows requests in terms of their request history (request time-stamp).
