Description

Currently, the main page of Fauxton is list of all databases on server. While this representation is traditional and legacy from Futon, it would be awesome to see there some dashboard of summary information.

For instance, you're logged as admin. What Fauxton may show you on there?

• Recently visited databases (COUCHDB-2112)
• Active replications (+ active_tasks)
• Some valuable stats like 500 / 401 HTTP errors
• Recent log messages
• Quick links for users / replicator databases, create new user/admin
• Some field for alert message like: Fix the admin party. Warning! You have the admin party and your CouchDB is accessible not only from localhost. And some other recommendations (like raise max_open_databases in case if you have a lot of dbs and stats tells that you're getting closer to this limit), tip of the day etc.

As for regular user there could be showed:

• Recently visited databases
• Link to his profile (doc in _users db)
  (whatelse may be useful for regular users?)

In other words, it would be awesome to have nicer welcome page with useful information as summary from other sources.
