backend edit?

[Col. Kurtz]

Is there any way I can edit the backend? What I want to do is to add some links to it, or popups or so. I use Coppermine Gallery and want to place a link to the gallery admin page so I can easily acces it when logged in the s9y admin panel.
Im also thinking about setting s9y up for somebody else and want to write a little instruction for her. Some sort of help or manual or so, and I like to place this in the backend too.

Suggestions?

The backend is not templated, so there it is not so easy to add stuff.

You need to write a plugin to add items to the config menu or to the front page of the backend to emit any HTML you like. You could also edit serendipity_admin.php, but this is obviously not recommended.
