[HOT] [Tasking Manager] enhancements - testers required

Hi Pierre
In the Users tab, I agree to remove the stats for each user. It should be enough to highlight for each user the tasks done.. I also agree to remove the Validate option. When we invalidate, we have the option to give a comment. This would also be a good option to send and email to the user.
To show the tiles to be selected, I prefer the light grey like in the previous version. I find this less confusing the the red color.
There are two circumstances where the message to invalidate a tile is showed. I would treat these two events differently as described below.
Event 1. The user locked a tile to work on; when he click to Mark task as done, the tile is still selected and the Invalidate button message is showed. It would probably be better to unselect the tile and show the Take a task message.
Event 2 : The user selects a tile already done; in this case, both the Invalidate button and the Clear selection option should be offered.
Pierre

>I'm convinced that it's not really a requirement to be able to "validate" tiles. It appears (looking at the statistics) that very few tiles have been marked as valid in the past jobs. I suppose that's because validation itself is not easy. It's easy to tell that a tile in invalid though. Thus, it's really a requirement to be able to "invalidate" tiles.
>In the version currently installed on dev server, the "validation" button doesn't exist anymore. The tiles can now take only 2 statuses "done" or "not done". Colors have been changed too. They're now more "common" to people's habits and they match the buttons colors too.
