[chandler-users] Remove from Chandler Dashboard

[Mimi Yin]

Hi Andre (and Davor)

Can I ask what you use the Dashboard collection for? Is it your  
primary 'view'? the place you sit in most of the time when you're  
using Chandler?

We've had a lot of trouble figuring out what the Dashboard should be:  
A no-nonsense Library collection that has all your stuff, no matter  
what (both mine and not-mine)? Or a collection you can fine-tune with  
inclusions and exclusions because it's Chandler's version of the  
Email Inbox.

Currently, it's a hybrid of both. You can fine-tune the Dashboard by  
'keeping collections out of it' and adding individual items into it,  
but we insist that it remains the sum of all your mine-collections.

I've proposed in the past that we just bite the bullet and 'dumb- 
down' the Dashboard to be a true Library collection and implement  
overlays for the Triage Table view so that users can fine-tune the  
'view they sit in' to their heart's content by overlaying their user- 
defined collections.

Would that make more sense given your personal workflows?
