I think that's confusing and is an entry barrier.
Can these be renamed back to something meaningful or have their names hidden 
entirely?
They're /not helping/, even after I remember what each of them does.

That's probably a steeper learning curve at least - not a big problem, but 
perhaps worth looking into.

Ah. I read the descriptions and found one more familiar thing, 'tasks and 
bugs'. It appears to default to bugs assigned to me - I couldn't figure out how 
to list all.

Turns out other options are related to code review (OK, just don't need it 
atm), hosting and browsing repositories (?), Audit (similar to code review; not 
my thing).

I imagine most people really just want to see a list of projects and a list of 
open bugs here.

I failed to figure out how to file a new bug, here.

Found 'Customize applications' link at the bottom. It took me to a list of 
pinned applications, which is identical to what is listed in the sidebar and 
doesn't appear to add any new information.
