New Admin Interface

You may notice if you sign into your admin account to manage your services that the UI is, well, somewhat radically different. We've been working hard over the last couple of weeks on designing something that is more intuitive and easier-to-use for new users (and prettier and more "2.0"). Specifically:
  1. User, queue, and gateway management is now all on one page, so that it is easier to view your entire service structure at a glance.
  2. The old configurator and servinator have been merged into a single wizard that walks you step-by-step through the process of generating HTML for inclusion into your web pages.
The disadvantages are that the effort you put into learning the old interface won't all carry over, and because it is so new (about 2 hours) there may be a few bugs. Oh, and most of the documentation on the wiki is now obsolete.

We're going to be working the rest of the weekend on writing and integrating new documentation, so that it won't be so scary come Monday.
