[Design] Proposal for 0.7 dashboard phases

[Sheila Mooney]

Similarly to the scheduling email I sent yesterday, the design team  
has put together a staging proposal for the 0.7 dashboard. This is  
not a spec, just a high-level proposal. The next steps are to spec  
out phases #1 and #2 in detail.

+ Phase #1

-> Goals
	- basic table support

-> Features
	- sort
	- search
	- improved header
         - fix a number of general table bugs

+ Phase #2

-> Goals
	- introduce triage status, ticklers and fixing the stamping cols

-> Features
	- fix problems - who/what displays in what column
	- stamping & triage status columns - no clickable icons
	- mechanism to change triage status in the detail view
	- ticklers
		- alarms for any items
		- select a custom alarm date
	- dnd emails into the dashboard
	- fix a few bugs to support above features
	- basic sections #1
		- always appear - unless you sort by a column that doesn't section
		- section on triage status only - maybe date if we have time
		- expand collapse
		- drag and drop between sections

+ Phase #3

-> Goals
	- add some new widgets and labelling

-> Features
	- clickable widgets for changing triage status (summary table,  
detail view)
	- improved markup bar
	- user editable tags - ui in detail view
	- solve sidebar bi-directionality issues
		- right context menu in det view label field creates a collection  
in the sidebar
		- dragging the text in the det view label field to the sidebar to  
create a collection
	- explicit ordering
	- basic sections #2
		- sections appear for more columns
		- drag and drop to reorder sections
		- empty sections appear

+ Phase #4

-> Goals
	- advanced features so users can customize the dashboard

-> Features
	- variable height rows in the summary table
	- custom and reordering columns
	- experimental sections
	- user-defined attributes
  	- clusters of items (tasks) using sections
