Sorry, I didn't articulate my idea very well. It would basically be renaming the products page to "Repositories" and making that page a list of repositories rather than products. Perhaps they repositories are grouped into products, perhaps not. Whether or not the concept of a "product" is actually useful is something that interviews with users can determine. >If we were going to just yank the sync status page, i think we would need to do some user interviews and confirm that the products page and dashboard widgets fulfill their needs. For sure, and I wouldn't just yank it out (as much as I'd like to) but I do see an opportunity to remove a page by combining its functionality into another. This is a trend that I would like to continue going forward as I believe our current nearly 1-to-1 mapping of pages to database relations isn't very user friendly. You almost have to know how the application is designed in order to use it effectively. I would much rather see an "action based" approach to our pages where the page in the UI is a representation of something you want to do rather than something that exists (if that makes sense at all).
