Re: Dashboard Compile & Render Fixes

["Kevin Kubasik" <kevin kubasik net>]

linked Identities is a big one, noticing that I'm reading my friends
blog, and hes online type stuff. (A tough example, but yeah) In
addition to remote queries (such as pulling up bugzilla bugs from an
email that has bugs listed etc) you might want to look into galago
some and pirate some of the cool statusy-dbus stuff going on there. We
had it in the original best interface, but lost it in our current
move.

Just a few of my random thoughts.

Cheers,
