i am fine with the "one dashboard to rule them all approach" as long as it remains easy/possible to implement the sample site (openstack-dashboard) with limited/single project functionality (with the understanding that 80% of our users will probably use the stock sample site with little/no customization).

i think my only concern is about authentication … i'd hate to see people entering several passwords or reauthenticating between switching tabs. i have only been casually watching the authn/authz discussions so this may not be the issue that i think it is.

can we just broaden the current blueprint (http://wiki.openstack.org/GlanceDashboard) to talk about all this next week ? 
Or do we want to propose a more encompassing session ? i'd defer to Devin's judgement here.
