I would say "no summary information on workitems."

We don't want to see the workitems themselves, but the % complete etc.

Do we need this though?

We have statuses like "Good Progress," "Blocked" etc. that do show up
there (or should :-)

If they are kept up to date then you get a good picture without workitem
information.

They are displayed in priority order aren't they? What other order would
you want that wasn't an AJAX sort option?

What's the use case for this one?

Another one is that there's no view for a month, only for a
milestone. We've a heap of different milestones within a month right
now. Alexnader is keen for a month view, and using the milestone page
obviously doesn't provide that, unless we use one milestone per-month,
and then have confusion around delivery dates.

Thanks,
