People do not understand where the admin_menu project is coming from and why we are adding new features that might have nothing to do with admin_menu.module itself.

One prominent example is the admin_views.module that ships with this package. Yet, there are more features in the pipeline.

Right, the "admin" namespace and project name would be much more suitable for what we are doing here. But at the time this project started, the "admin" namespace threw a 403 and could not be registered as project. Truth is, if I could, then I would take over the Admin project, but I fear that won't be possible as friends at DevSeed managed to register that project to put some weird admin-theme-as-module hack in there (which probably doesn't need a module in D7) - don't take this as insult, but as visible in admin_menu, there's a lot more pressing need for tweaking Drupal's administrative UX, regardless of theme ;)

If you are considering a name change to broaden the scope of the project (since as you said, there are more features in the pipeline that extend this module beyond just the actual "admin_menu" piece), then here's a few suggestions:

admin_tools, admin_cp (control panel), admin_ui, admin_manager, admin_helper, admin_extender, admin_viagra (j/k)

admin is a module.
admin_tools is a module extension for admin module above.

these two are good known modules that can be used in conjunction with admin_menu. if it was possible, it would advise some sort of cooperation or merger with them.

admintools is a rip of a name, that has not much to do with admin interface, but instead, manages multiple site's crons. so it's yet another multisite manager... :S

administration is obsolete. no longer produced or maintained. it's functionality is in core.

I am sorry for no reply until now.

There are many issues regarding this module admin_menu which is a bit difficult for us to follow up since some of the issues might be already outdated, or is already fixed by the module or any other modules or itself core which means that the problem might no longer need to be fixed.

We can see that the issue has been created for a few years ago, I hope it is okay for you that I am postponing the issue, and give you around two weeks. If you still face the problem, could you tell us the step by step when until you get the error message or what is frustrated you, and a list of modules you are using related to admin_menu and a screenshot that might help us? So it makes us easier to reproduce your issue.

However, after two weeks with no feedback - we will close this issue. So in case, you noticed it after the issue is closed, do not hesitate to reopen it like and fill information which is mentioned above.

So before giving us a feedback, do you mind to test it again with our latest 7.x-3.x-dev?

Thank you for understanding! :)
