This page lets you display various blocks of information about your projects. By default only the following two blocks are enabled:

* @Reported issues@

Each user can personalize the own "My page" by clicking on "Personalize this page". Then the user can choose which of the available blocks of information should be displayed or not.

The additional blocks besides the two default ones are:

* @Calendar@

** _providing a cross-project weekly calendar overview_
