We're getting requests for a link to the team project web that would be available on some visible and easy to access location. It seems the reasons for opening the project web can be somewhat more frequent that was originally considered: people may want to see merge requests (code review), manage team, do some administration, etc. (Here not counting in special cases we have covered, like opening a specific tasks or build jobs.) Currently the way to open the project web requires to open the project Dashboard in the IDE first, click on its header to expand it, then click on the Project web link. This is rather cumbersome, perhaps many people would not even find it. I'd suggest to have a visible link to the project web in the Team window, for the currently selected project. One option could be an additional "Project Web" link next to the current lonely "dashboard" link (or aligned to the right of the window). In such case it would probably need the additional link icon to indicate it is an external link (unlike he dashboard that opens in the IDE). BTW the "dashboard" text then should probably start with a capital letter. Possibly can also think about this together with the refresh action (bug 245761).
One more thing, in the project selection mega menu, a project can be right clicked for a context menu. A Go to Project Web action should be here as well, just for completeness.
