Actually, I think that the problem with the current DDPO is that its
goal is to enable developers to deduce tasks from a summary of data, so
it makes sense to provide as much information as possible.
Often, it would be possible to deduce the tasks from the information
automatically (bugs, missing builds, etc) so it would also make sense to
have a tasks-oriented view, similar to what ddpo-by-mail provides but
with more tasks. That's something that could be easily done using UDD,
it just needs someone to do it.
I think that displaying all columns by default is fine. Most of us don't
do development on netbooks with small resolutions. And those who do
could change the config once (there's a cookie).
