[Design] Fwd: [Bug 6707] Dashboard upcoming days "Monday", not last week?

[Mimi Yin]

Forwarding a bug Priscilla logged to the design list for more  
discussion.

The issue is how to treat proper nouns for dates in the Date column  
of the Dashboard.

If today is Friday and you see Tuesday in the Date column for an item  
in the Dashboard, do you think next Tuesday? or this past Tuesday in  
the same calendar week?

It probably depends on context.

Some options
1 We could avoid confusion altogether and get rid of proper nouns for  
dates except for Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow
2 We could distinguish between Tuesday and Next Tuesday. Although if  
you didn't have a Next Tuesday in the view, you might still be  
confused about Tuesday.
