Dashboard

Dashboard is being developed for Drupal.org as prototyped. It will work for all sites, but not yet.

Design principals:

• Keep the user’s context with inline customization. Avoid separate pages and never use popups or lightboxes.
• Actions should have instant results. Update the screen immediately and tell the server in the background, no throbbers, spinners, or progress bars.
• Gradeful degradation is hard for highly-interactive pages. Non-Javascript users will have a static page with good defaults.

Status: Good for a demo, if you have Drupal.org’s new Bluecheese theme and the Drupal.org module.

Dashboard for Drupal 4.7 was a precursor to Panels.
