Admin Interface

I propose a single text input as means of simple command line. Good for expanding on features and far easier to theme :P

But the sorting for checkpoints will be painful

[kenlimmj]

Whoops forgot about that. I think the idea I had was more of that the text input serves as a starting point. So if I wanted to create/remove/edit, I'd type something like

new checkpoint 'Demand and Supply'

and it would prompt me to do all the rest of the stuff in order.

If I typed

remove checkpoint 'Demand and Supply'

the output might probably be just something offering a confirmation as (Y/N). This is simple enough for anyone to understand, and if the day comes that we need to walk someone through the admin interface, being able to tell them to "type " is better than saying "look for the button and click".

It would also be useful if we had to do any admin on mobile (though I hope not, nor should that be the focus).

For reordering, the command might be

reorder 'Elasticities'

which would open up the table display somewhere with the draggable/droppable interfaces.

Seeing as how we had problems with the dragging and dropping last time, not sure if we might want to revisit that (and possibly the headache that comes with it), or if we want to stick to something simple, like a pair of up/down arrows next to each item.
