Does Storyboard have any plans to provide any standard views that are consistent across projects? Or is it focused solely on the "in club" who know what dashboard views are custom to each project?
Paul, this is actually one of the big concerns I have with the move to 
Storyboard is the fact that there is no longer standardization across 
projects.  When I asked about this it was noted that it would be 
important for Cinder to document how we use Storyboard so people can 
refer to the documentation and know how to use it.  This, however, seems 
needlessly complicated. Would have expected how to use Storyboard was 
going to be used to be documented/recommended before hand.

Agreed.  Wonder if at the next midcycle it would be worth having a cross 
project discussion to try and create some consistency.  That, however, 
would require buy-in from at least the core projects.
