<FONT FACE="Calibri, Verdana, Helvetica, Arial"><SPAN STYLE='font-size:11pt'>I actually think David has a pretty good idea. Well, Bill is right too: the Dashboard is the “right” place for the coverage statistics; they should remain there, and that it should be the de facto place to go to reference the coverage statistics. But, as a convenience I think it would be really great if the coverage was also displayed on the Doxygen web pages. The Doxygen pages get a lot of exposure, and I think it would do good to make the coverage more visible. It could inspire developers to better cover classes and to help users in choosing classes to use.<BR>
<BR>
Here is a stupid analogy: I can always lookup how many calories are in a Big Mac on McDonalds’ web site, and I should always be able to. But if the same information was on the menu I was ordering from, it would have a much larger impact and what I eat and probably inspire McDonalds to make more healthy food.<BR>
