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

[John Anderson]

Hi Heikki:

The latest design spec says that Calendar View is only shown for user 
collections.

Personally, my preference would be to be able to see any collection (or 
combination of collections) through any view, i.e. let the user choose 
the view.
