Regarding usability I'm also struggling with certain problems with the
Blends tasks pages which somehow also try to provide as much information
as possible. I somehow endet up with some JavaScript based popups but
I'm not very excited about this solution. I'm no web design expert nor
do I know anything about new HTML5 features but we should consider
somehow the strategy to place some "markers" in a trafic light symbolic
or something like this. A red marker tells you there is a need to do
something and if you navigate to the marker you get the information what
has to be done. A yellow marker tells you that there is a chance for
enhancement and once you navigate to this you get more detailed
information. Green might provide some extra information but everything
is in shape.
Using this is probably a reasonable way to put all information even on
small screens (SmartPhones ?!?!) while beeing es detailed as needed.
And no, I do not feel able to implement this myself.
Kind regards
Andreas.
