Home & My page improvements and other productivity proposals
Added by clawfrown clawfrown over 15 years ago
Hi all,
I've been with Redmine for about a year - thank you guys for doing this great thing!
But since the beginning and even now I consider that Redmine at the moment lacks in the basic principles of usability and interaction.
For example I believe that "Home" page is absolutely useless now.. and 'My page' although has the potential, also lucks in functionality.
So, here is my proposal:
- Make Home page - a 'basic' project with all the modules available - so that it can be the real Home page of the company - and it can have basic company wiki etc. - because without modules this 'Home' page is useless.
- Change 'My page':
- Add Wiki block to the left side - so that the user can manage his most important links on projects he works.
- Add Activity (of the user logged in) block (the same that is shown on the user page) - for default it can be on the right
- Add Sidebar with gravatar of the person logged in, and statistics on his tickets etc. with notifications on which he has not yet seen.
- Change vise versa two columns/one column layout of 'My page' - so that you can see two columns on top
- Create 'Users' (people) module - the list of users and their specification (that is another story - maybe will describe about it later).
P.S.
I am Mac user and I believe that the principles of Functionality&GUI design should both and altogether lead to the main purpose - the clean comprehension, usability and interaction.
So I guess these improvements may help a lot in that. Thank you very much beforehand for comments.

I've been working on additional My Page widgets. Feel free to fork that code and send a pull request with your additional widgets.
