Now that there's a "Dashboard" module in D7 core, we should strongly consider renaming this Dashboard module something else -- say, drupalorg_dashboard.module -- and moving it into the Drupal.org customizations project. AFAIK, the utility of this module is pretty limited to Drupal.org -- especially now that a module of the same name with related functionality is in core.

The core implementation is geared heavily towards administration and has a very small feature set and a limited ability to be extended. I think the contrib Dashboard module has the potential to take this concept to the next level and allow any site to have a full featured dashboard for end users. I'd hate to see the contrib Dashboard be only usable on drupal.org . But I guess it will need a new name now that there's a "dashboard" module in core.

Title: Move this project into the drupalorg family of modules and reassign issues » Move this project to a new home reassign issues

A new name is one thing and seems necessary, but I don't like the idea of merging this. I think it has value on its own as a lightweight per-user dashboard tool.

@greggles: absolutely! there's a need for this outside of d.o.

Just saw this module page:

http://drupal.org/project/pdash

Has this been selected as the new name?

pdash will likely be the new name for the module. Hold off on moving anything until the people working on the Drupal.org redesign have had a chance to catch up and give their input.
