Dominion

A WIP admin package for Laravel 4 that has no dependencies other than Laravel 4. I would not call this production ready just yet, I am still finishing up some of the core modules.

This is my first package and experience with Laravel, having switched from FuelPHP. I started this project to avoid having to create a new admin interface for each project, as I was previously doing. When I started this there weren't many admin packages for Laravel 4, and the few that there was were dependent on third-party packages or had jQuery UI or other components built into the frontend already. While not re-inventing the wheel is great, I am new to Laravel and want to use as much of the core code as possible and avoid third-party packages.

All feedback is welcome and appreciated.
