Create a dashboard view for JBoss.org projects. This feature request is inspired by the Kenai.com dashboard view in NetBeans (screenshot attached). The general idea is to provide a view within the IDE of the JBoss.org projects (perhaps even other conforming projects). The view provides information about the project such as:

= title
= description
= project members
= source control
= recent issues
= blog feed (titles w/ summary and link)
= ...

You would then be able to interact with the form to pull the source into your IDE workspace and build it. That way, we can get new developers started as simple as possible and consistently across all projects. The key is that it's simple to get started, and we start the developer in JBoss Tools, then get them into the code.

Most of the info could be extracted from the poms in the Nexus repo, and know URL patterns on jboss.org.

What would be stunning is if we could also tie this into collaborative editing in the IDE.
