Talking about filtering:
I would suggest to allow a user to define, name & save his own filtes on =
an
extra page. This way the filter rows can be as bulky as you want :-)
I imagine something like a "WHERE clause toolkit". Show all allowed =
fields,
show allowed values for these fields, add "AND", "OR" and "NOT", plus a =
"Test
It" button.
The user defined Filter(s) have to be saved in an extra table of course, =
so
the filter can be applied to any project accessible to the user.

This way a manager/administrator could set up sitewide or projectwide =
filters
like:
Sitewide: "Most critical issues"
Sitewide: "Most popular issues" (If voting is implemented)
Sitewide: "Longest open issues"
Projectwide: "Tasks reported by Paul & Eve"
Personal: "Tasks open and assigned to me" (could even be sitewide
Personal: "Tasks open and reported to me"

The predefined filters can then be accessible directly via a combobox or =
via
a sidebar. I you take a look at my design suggestion (see templates and
themes) thread, the left hand side would be a nice place to put them. =
But
also in the standard layout, a combobox next to the "select project" =
would
come in handy.
