The option I took on CodeX was to keep in the service area all the 
settings that relate to it. The Task Manager currently has little 
configuration capabilities but this could change very quickly. The bug 
tracker was also that simple before we enhanced it and now you can see 
that it is a complex thing. I personally do not see it in the account 
configuration.

The guidelines for CodeX is the following: if a configuration item cut 
across all projects then it has to be on the Account Maintenance page. 
If it is service specific, then it is also very often project specific 
, and it has to be under the Admin part of the service.


The default date choice in the task manager is specific to the service 
but it also vary from one project to another for the same user so it 
has to be in the Admin part of the service.

What do you think?

PS: Plus if you diverge from CodeX it will make code merging even more 
difficult for me and chances are that we are going to build a new task 
manager soon :-)
