[sakai-pmc] Dashboard inclusion in trunk

[Sam Ottenhoff]

I agree 100% with John Bush.  This is an important piece of functionality
that needs to be in core Sakai to round out the product.  Blocking the road
and demanding that the contributing institution fix all JIRAs and meet
other criteria is an outdated and unhelpful method of operating.  I believe
there are enough of us that together believe in pushing the product
features forward and will collaborate over the coming months on getting the
remaining JIRAs resolved.
