[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.

Here is a screenshot where Tuesday, was really LAST Tuesday. And when I think of the day of the week spelled out for me, I'm usually thinking of the week ahead. Does that make sense? --  Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.osafoundation.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.
