Hello,

As you might remember a few sprints ago I demo-ed the ability to generate an 
API key and use it as a way to authenticate when using the CLI. The aim is to 
allow any user to access operations through the CLI that they'd be able to do 
on the GUI, so it is relevant with the user adoption epic.

Unfortunately these patches are still in review despite being ready for merging 
here: http://softwarefactory-project.io/r/#/q/topic:API_key_auth (except for a 
cauth patch I need to rebase manually but it should be trivial). What's missing 
is some form of GUI integration (as this is where the API key should be 
managed). Since it's not fun having to rebase periodically, I was thinking it 
was time to do something about the GUI. We can either:

- embrace our lack of HTML-fu for the time being and go full CLI. We remove the 
dashboard completely, but we have to ensure that sfmanager is feature-complete 
which is not the case at the moment (for example, it is missing a way to list 
projects ...). We would still need a kind of a "settings" page where a user can 
generate the Gerrit key and the API key, and eventually configure her details 
(instead of changing them in every service).
- keep the dashboard but rethink it, adding a "settings" section to it.

Any way we go we need to take some time to rethink things. Shall we schedule a 
grooming session on this topic ?
