Hi devs,
 actually after a discussion I had with Vincent about naming, we thought
 of the following approach, for a more general purpose:
 1/ section turns into ** container ** and it gets a parameter called
 **layoutStyle** to specify the type of layout for its contents. One of
 the possible values of this param would be "columns" and it would be the
 only one implemented for the moment.
 2/ the content of this container macro would be a **list of groups**,
 wiki syntax groups, like ((( ... ))). There's no point of having a macro
 that does nothing else but specify that some items should be grouped
 together.
 With these, the syntax of columned content would now be:
 {{container layoutStyle="columns"}}
 ((( some wiki content )))
 ((( some other wiki content)))
 {{/container}}
 The dashboard macro would then just delegate to a container macro with
 columns layout style.
 I like this approach, +1.
 WDYT?
 Once I get your votes, I will commit this in the platform.
 Thanks,
 Anca

  Hi devs,
 wdyt about committing the section&  macro columns from the contrib
 (
https://svn.xwiki.org/svnroot/xwiki/contrib/projects/xwiki-macro-column/)
 in the platform macros, along with a first, very simple implementation
 of the dashboard macro (which for the moment only delegates to the
 section macro)?
 This would be the first step towards the implementation of the
 dashboard, and the plan is to be done before 2.5M2.
 Here's my +1.
 WDYT?
