Hey, guys!
I'm really sorry about mess up in my previous comment, but it was not my fault, seems like Launchpad's bug or Firefox's bug…

But i'm curious, is the mock-up so bad that nobody cares?
Maybe i should add some description for easier understanding.

The conception of “Home screen” (as it mentioned in this thread) is pretty simple — provide to user some statistics and summaries (i prefer word “overview” though).

I think that home screen with the overall statistics would be cool. If it is done properly, it would cool feature! But it must provide so unique information, that the user doesn't matter one more click to get to the tasks. User story:
Jan is an active young boy who has a lot of things to do. He has so many tasks, that he needs an intelligent preview, whats going on, which project needs his attention. He can find that information on the home screen.

So, now lets look at mock-up: it has three section
Current project
Most frequent tags
Stats

Stats , obviously, shows statistics, how many tasks were done and dismissed.
The point of this section is motivate user.
Also there are sarcastic comments about this statistics… Perhaps somebody will find it offensive, but i think a little bit of humour is good ;)

Current project is place for focusing, it is similar to “Work view”, but only for one project.
Also if user never mind about projects, then this section might show tasks with specific tag. User may choose what it should display by clicking gear icon on top right corner of section.
The point is focusing on current project and/or most important tasks.

Most frequent tags shows tags and numbers of tasks for each tag.
The point is
1) provide to user information about which tag is most used (kind of statistic)
2) ability navigate by frequency order instead of alphabetical order
3) ability to add tag before creating any tasks.

Certainly, user can click name subtask to open its window, or click tag to see all tasks with this tag.

So what you think? is it bad? or unnecessary?
