I've often wondered do you all gather ideas by looking at other software such as php nuke.Php nuke is a cms that has Super Admins, allows you to choose your own admin name upon install and only shows site administration to Admins. It has so many options that it can be intimidating to users but a piece of cake for webmasters. There are so many software programs out there that can aid you in the process of deciding what functions are needed/not needed and what is the best way to implement them. I don't think it matters whether or not it's another blog software or cms which inspires you to extend the functions of wordpress. I do hope that you all take some time to play(research) with other software. Best wishes This post has helped me to understand exactly what is going on so much better.

I am trying to learn how the site/network relation works and it isn't very clear in the UI. In my installation I have 4 test sites test1-4 and 2 networks N1 and N2. In the N1 dashboard I can see the N1 sites and all networks, N1 and N2, but I cannot switch to N2 to administer it or its sites. Also if I delete N2 without moving its sites they go to limbo, they are not reassigned to N1, this makes sense but not sure that is how it should work. I have more questions however since I am not sure if this is the correct place for this I'll stop there. Thank you for making the terminology make some sense.
