I agree that using widgets would be cool, enhancing menu widget actually. But I was also thinking about using CSS. I remember you sent a link about
http://www.opencube.com. Though some argue that JavaScript should be used for 
such dynamic things
http://tutorials.alsacreations.com/deroulant

Another example of its use  in 
https://localhost:8443/catalog/control/EditProduct

Main (maybe not : only single entries for those)
   Product
   Content
   Categories
   Associations
   Features

Price
   Prices
   Costs

Reference (who cares to have a single menu for those ?)
   Geos
   Ids
   Keywords
   Attributes
   Meters

Facility
   Facilities
   Locations
   Inventory


Party
   Suppliers
   Vendor
   Parties
   Agreements

Accounting
   Accounts
   Payment Types

I did not find a group for the remainders
   a.. Manufacturing
   b.. Maintenance
   c.. Subscription Resources
   d.. Quick Admin
   e.. Work Effort

we already have drop down for widgets
menus now are hand edited, so there is not real way yet to management.
so all we need is an menu entity
then build a menu tree using the entity.
the data would be that same as menu now so the i18n would be preserved.
let the widgets build the menus.

my 2 cents

I wonder if we should not add dropdow menu capability to OFBiz. We would them 
be able to show a less cluttered and easier to read
UI in some cases. And I'm sure this will help us to better organize things in 
OFBiz.
For instance in party Profile we could have

Party actions
                    Link Party
                    Party content
                    Party Skills

There is only one drawback I see in this : i18n will not be as easy and maybe 
this has been aready discussed ?

Another small UI issue : we should distinguish the 2 "Link Party" button in 
this screen. I would recommend to change only the
label of the one below to "Link this party", agreed ?
