Settings and activity

It would actually be nice if more things were allowed to be set as preferences. Other than the overall dashboard there really are no settings unlike pretty much any other app.

As I've looked at implementing this on a project this ends up being a point. For 5 different projects, I have at least 9 variables that need to get updated per environment. Take this times 7 environments. Managing these in the current interface is at best burdensome, at worst easy to miss or chose the wrong something. Especially when you factor in scope and that something might be different in a particular instance of that environment. This probably is partially something I need to sort out with the best way to manage regional environments vs. grouping them all as "Production"... I think the new features in 2.6 will help there.

To clarify the reason that I even mentioned "logfiles", is that the example documentation for Octopus mentioned "LogLevel" as a variable updated in the web.config and I found myself thinking "LogFile" sounds like something you would update in a config file somewhere. In my case, LogDir would have been a better variable name.
