[Design] Dashboard Spec

[Mimi Yin]

Some big changes to look at out for:

+ Count for the number of Communications status states is currently  
at 42, 6 up from 36. (We're not expecting to have all of the states  
done for Alpha 3/4)

+ New section on proposal for future plans for Sorting and  
Sectioning: the fallout of discussions on the list: http:// 
lists.osafoundation.org/pipermail/design/2006-June/004799.html

+ The Calendar stamp column is now the Reminder column (as soon as we  
get custom-date Ticklers up and running).

The user motivations for changing the Calendar stamp column to the  
Reminder column include:
Adding custom-date Ticklers to Items may be far more common a user  
task than adding Items to the calendar, especially if users are not  
receiving all of their email in Chandler.
Adding an Item to the calendar will most likely require the user to  
interact with the detail view of that Item. As a result, having the  
ability to add Items to the calendar from the summary table view is  
less important.
Thanks!
