[Imc-aotearoa-tech] Ease of admin

[Miles Thompson]

Both good suggestions, but until someone volunteers to actually go in 
and modify the code to do this, it ain't gonna happen.

You can and should assume that absolutely no matter how hard you *think* 
it is to do something, technically speaking, its at least twice if not 
ten times harder than you think.
