Comment 38 for bug 885320

vovkkk> I really like the concept of "Home Screen" providing some kind of dashboard to GTG. This is a feature that is really important in productivity apps: users are interested in getting easily an overview on how well they perform. So, I find it very interesting.

I've had a quick look at your mockups. Here are my comments:
1) Your first one (https://bugs.launchpad.net/gtg/+bug/885320/+attachment/2591533/+files/gtg-home-screen.png) looks. However I wonder if it isn't a bit large and crowded. Up to now, GTG has been thought to present itself initially as a very simple apps (main window, no sidebar, small size). In this view, the home screen you suggest is too large to fit it. However, apps seems to evolve in such a way that large windows (and typically maximized apps) are becoming more standard (blame it on the tablet factor, which is not good for window manipulations). In this approach, you home screen would be a better fit.
2) Still in you Home Screen, I like the "stat" box, which providing some information about someone's current performance. As you said it, the "current project" doesn't really fit the actual GTG flow since there's no such concept, so I'm not really convinced. The 'frequent tag' is nice, but it feels a bit gadget-ish since I don't really see what use it provides, or even what information (the stat box is way better at this). The alternative 'brief' (https://bugs.launchpad.net/gtg/+bug/885320/+attachment/2592820/+files/brief.png) box is nice, and should replace the "current project" box I think.
3) Maybe the lower box could be replaced by shortcuts to useful actions ("Add a new task", A list of about 5 shortcuts to recently used saved searches/smart filters ordered by last-used dates., A list of about 5 tasks that the user might want to read/edit, e.g.: 5 last non-done edited tasks)
