Yes we want to see this. We want to show the latest branches. I want to
show the sparkline for the focus of development.

I do not like the current design because takes a guess at what is
happening in a project, and it often guesses wrong. I do not care about
the latest 5 blueprints if they are from two years ago. I want to know
about what is happening in the project over the past, month, or season.

I think a journal/wall presentation might be more effective.

There is information we wanted to show, but could not given the time we
had to convert the pages. For example, you are not seeing when each
person made the last contribution.

On the person page, you are not seeing their latest branches, or reviews
that he was requested. The questions portlet is wrong, since it shows
what you asked, not what you are assigned.

I think this is a good place to talk about the larger goals for pages.
