2. Unlike Gmail, the Dashboard is not the equivalent of the INBOX in
email clients. It's defined around Focus, which menas it contains
Drafts of message you're about to send, Sent messages you still need
to follow-up on, and items that aren't communications at all.
Thanks for this clarification - I guess my concern is that it would
still get cluttered up with stuff that's DONE, but perhaps some sort of
'purge' mechanism would address this (especially if it could be
configured to happen automatically for people like me (purge
immediately) or philippe (purge each day/week)
However, I still don't think the gmail model is as different from your
dashboard model as you're describing. The fundamental concept of "this
is stuff that I need now" - i.e. your inbox, and "this is everything
else" i.e. search or the "All Mail" link
PS A separate thought, I wonder if we can get people to stop using the
'My calendar' collection as a personal calendar by renaming the 'All'
collection Dashboard, keeping it Dashboard across all App areas and
presenting the Calendar-Dashboard as a Table, rather than as a
Calendar Canvas.
a hearty +1
