Enhancement request: Explain the purpose and the UI of the DejaCode Administration forms #253

Description

@DennisClark

Problem
Two different design styles between DejaCode User View vs DejaCode Administration
Violated usability principles: Consistency and Standards
The inconsistent design makes it difficult for users to form a unified mental model of the app and its functionality.
The abrupt design changes can confuse users, creating the impression they have switched to a different app.

Enhancement Benefits
Clarify the intentions and purposes of the DejaCode User View vs DejaCode Administration.

Proposed Solution
On the DejaCode Dashboard form, just below the label "DejaCode Administration" provide help text, in the same text style of the various DejaCode admin forms, to describe the purpose of the Administration area of DejaCode, and the intended users of that area. A concise explanation of one paragraph would be best, perhaps with the ability to hide it.

Additional notes
Construction of the proposed help text is in progress. Details to follow.
