The Kenai dashboard enables you to quickly view information about Kenai projects that you have joined or opened. If you are logged in to Kenai.com, the projects that you have joined are automatically listed in the Kenai dashboard.
To open the Kenai dashboard:
Each Kenai project that you have opened or joined is represented by a node in the Kenai dashboard. The Kenai dashboard enables you to easily monitor the project's issues and access the project page on Kenai.com. The dashboard also informs you if other project members are online and the status of chat messages (if a project has a chat room).
You can expand the project node to access the following features.
(Kenai.com supports Subversion, Mercurial and Git repositories, but you can also specify your own external source code repository.)
