As a relative newcomer to Mach-II, I just wanted to say that I just recently came across the view-loaders myself and assumed it had always been around. This is definitely a big feature for me! Looks like the endpoint stuff is just as exciting and I will try to learn about those as well.
The dashboard is pretty indispensable to our group - it saves us a lot of headaches manually refreshing cached files, and I look forward to any and all enhancements in that area. I may even donate some time to that area to address some of our minor complaints, if I can find that time.
