This is basically the solution I'm using (between work and home) and I'm
not giving up on Dashboard really. Of course, this is because of my
personal way of using (or rather using sparingly) the collection named
Dashboard. This is my current "philosophy" to use the Dashboard collection:
- the Dashboard is just an automatically created gathering of all items
in all collections I declared "Keep in Dashboard" on the local machine
- the Dashboard only have meaning on the local machine (e.g. my "Family"
collection is on the Dashboard on my home machine, not on my work machine)
- I therefore *never* create items in the Dashboard directly, they'd be
unshared and more or less "lost" for my use
- I *always* have a collection (e.g. "Work") selected in the sidebar,
this is where I do most of my triage (selecting Tasks or All in the Toolbar)
- I use the Dashboard collection to get a view of everything on my NOW plate
- As soon as a new item shows up in the Dashboard (i.e. Chandler items I
received through email), I immediately drag and drop them into one of my
created collections
- In a way, I'm using collections as tags, since an item can be in
several collections at once that works pretty well

That's really my personal pattern of use of the Dashboard and
collections between several machines, not an officially endorsed method
(I think Mimi might be horrified by my understanding of Dashboard... :)
). Hope this helps anyway.

Cheers,
