Active project list not really helpful

[nickbe]

This is not high priority, but here the active project bars are showing either 100% or something close to 0% (in projects where I have 1 or 2 open tickets). This looks always something like this

C
CCCCCCCCC
CCCCCCCCC
C
C
C
CCCCCCCCC

Personally I think this doesn't help in any way.

I suggest to keep the bars, letting the color of the progress bar fade from a lighter blue/gray for 1% (somewhere around CEE0EF) to a darker blue/gray (like 256CAA). (Either make the complete progress bar the same color, or let the color always fade from left (light) to darker color right depending on the percentage.

The question is: What value reprents 100%, and what the current rate of progress.
Since we're going through statuses I suggest we calculate the current progress per project as follows:

SUM( CURRENT_KANBAN_STATUS_POS_NR_OF_OPEN_ISSUE) / ((COUNT(OPEN_ISSUES) * COUNT(PROJECT_KANBAN_STATUS_COLUMNS)) x 100

After playing with the values on a piece of paper I'm pretty confident this would be a rather better progress bar view. And instead of the % value I would simply like to see the total number of open tickets per project.
