What is the concept of Dashboard vs user profile page?

Hi, Thanks a lot for the Good Job!

When I first join in, and saw there was a dashboard i was very excited to see what you could achieve, I am sorry to say that, but this dashboard is not really a dashboard but more like a second profile page which confuses me a little. If I compare it with the profile page, I see almost no differencies in fuctionalities (there are block and views, but it is all "static" from a user point of view). A real dashboard in a Community Site, should at least let the user choose which blocks to see, and where, (may be even let them change the colours). Another basic feature of a dashboard will be to let users add and display their own rssfeeds (you can use feedapi module combined with Rss feeds block module). Isn't the dashboard private? (no one can see it but me) if yes no worries about styles and consistency for the site.

For the profile page it will be great if users could choose to connect their DC profile with facebook, twitter, linkedin, etc and having blocks which will show for example their linkedin profile, their tweets and their facebook activity. As well, in case users have personal blog, it would be good to have a block where they can show there their posts in their personal blog (this could be achieved with the same Rss feeds block module, although, it might be the case that certain posts are very relevant and would be nice to have them searchable - or appearing in a group page) for this a solution that enables the member to post from his personal blog/site  to the DC site will be great, i know that copy/paste does miracles :) but when I say that to my clients, they look at me very strange, they want a technological solution.

Cheers,

Mau
