Bug Description

UX Testing Report: "Replace the current bottom edge screens with the simpler "Complete list of Scopes" design."

New Manage Dash design can be found here:
https://sites.google.com/a/canonical.com/unity-8-dash-rtm-1/scope-structure-navigation/my-feeds-structure

Additional UX Testing Report findings addressed by the redesign:

"Poor discoverability and comprehension of scopes - The use of labelings that do not include the word 'scope'/'scopes'"

"Lack of visual distinctions between apps and scopes in the 'manage dash' screen"

"Undefined relationship between apps and scopes"

"Search function does not help the discovery of scopes"

"No dedicated place for adding scopes on the dash"

"Poor memorability in locating the' manage dash' screen again"

"The impact of making a scope favourite is unclear"

"Lack of indication of the nature of the scopes under 'all' tab on 'manage dash'"

"Navigation between manage dash and apps scope was difficult"

"Expect to see categorises instead of content"

[UX Comment]
Work on 'manage dash' has been deprioritised and may cease entirely.

Note that this "simplification" brings over at least two new features, a badge count for new feeds, and the possibility to remove feeds from the list, so thus is not a "simplification", this is a total redesign and is not something that is going to happen in a few hours.

Another one, now we have a "Child feed names" list that was nowhere previously.

After review and discussion this is being moved to OTA-1.

It is imperative that this is available for OTA1 so I propose that we still aim for the two staged approach as outlined in the document Unity8 Design update estimates doc.

With Option2 targeted for OTA1 and Option1 targeted for later (potentially OTA-2).
