hello again,
just wanted to drop a line about the dashboard. right now, i think it works great, but not as a dashboard, more as a quick overview of recent activity. i think a few people have requested this, but i think to for the dashboard, it would be great for it to have the tasks and milestones that are active, due, late, etc. I do see a need for a list of activity like the current dashboard, but more in the style of the message or file list - bigger and with more text. essentially so i can go to the dashboard and actually use it to get things done, add comments to messages, download files, etc. so...

1. i log into activcollab
2. i see the latest milestones due, my current task lists
3. i see a list (formatted much like the messages section) that is a mixture of messages, files, tasks, etc that i can read, download files from, and comment on right from the dashboard. comments wouldn't appear, but their respective messages/objects would be displayed with a "new comment" signifier somewhere, so i get the context.
4. i can see the total hours i have spent (and if allowed, the total hours sepnt by all) on current projects

sounds confusing but it makes sense to me ;)
