[Design] Dashboard confusing, don't know how to get calendar view

[Heikki Toivonen]

I am somewhat confused about the new dashboard and default view. I look
at the toolbar and see that calendar is selected, and I see (and can
create) more events, yet I don't see the calendar view. I look at View
menu, which has the Calendar entry selected. Looking through the other
menus I have no idea how to get a calendar view.

The only reason why I actually know calendar view works and how to get
to it was by reading John's checkins comments where he mentioned that
you need to create a collection. And that still does not show the
dashboard items in the calendar view.

And now that I have a collection of my own and the dashboard, clicking
between them switches between table view and calendar view even though
both show events.

I am not sure what would be the best way to change this, but the current
situation feels like a wrong approach.

I think I would expect a PIM to start with a calendar view.

I also think that Dashboard acts so differently from all the other
collections in the sidebar that I don't think it should be in the
sidebar at all. I think it should be a new button on the toolbar.
