One of the most wanted features is the admin area. Although a complete admin area will be come on 3.1, a very critital component of the admin area will come for the first time on 2.1 because I believe that is the most important thing in the admin and it needs to be improved over and over.

Actually making a file-manager is pretty easy, you only need to read directories and manipulate files. There is a lot of file-manager scripts out there (and they are all compatible with Chevereto, even with all PHP scripts). But there is something different that I want to make in Chevereto that includes the API... I want to make "pluggable" the file manager functions for the budled API, this means that you will got file-manager from web and in your app.

As I said before, this is a pretty long ride... Don't forget that I'm making something that suits for everyone and it must work for anyone, but most important than that is the fact that I'm try to do just premium stuff, not buggy things. That is why you see so many Chevereto releases, always a lot of bugs are corrected, the script is even better.

The file-manager is on the design stage (almost ready) and once I finish that I will start to make the PHP functions and the Ajaxed work... Yes, the filemanager will be 100% in ajax, custom made by me... It's beautiful, I will like to share the screens with you but there is too many copycats around.

Features of file-manager
- Only available using valid user/password combo
- Delete / Edit name / Resize / Get codes
- Multi and single file edition
- Selectable sort order
- Search

If you want to suggest a function this is the place

UPDATE 2011-12-12
Perhaps you are asking what is the current status of this, so I give you this quick resume:
1. The current development is in half state, meaning that the Filemanager probably won't be launched this year.
2. I have added more features to the UI, currently I'm dealing with the keyboard shortcuts function.
3. There is a ton of cool JS functions that has been developed for this, like automatic resize calculator and contextmenu options.

Hope you can understand that I'm polishing this to the very bone and that it will take more time to release it.
