I have an idea and Im not sure if its possible with existing modules or if I could create something to do what Im looking for.
The challenge:
Im looking for functionality much like the homebox where a user can choose from pre defined blocks and build up a dashboard, but heres where it gets interesting, I would like to integrate this into a User specific menu where a user can add remove and move around the blocks in a region like say the second sidebar and this user menu would be on every page as they browse the site.
Things like My Documents, My Contacts, My articles, My Groups, My Communities etc this would enable a user to position the items in there own order of relevance.
My initial thought was giving the user a homebox with 1 column and calling that homebox into a region or giving the user full homebox with 3 columns and making one of the columns available to a region of the site.
is there an easier way to implement this has someone done something similar am i on the right track for what Im looking to do?

panel
You have to go through panel module.
It has provide you to create customize dashboard where you select column layout as per your requirement.
You can set blocks to panel page as per your requirement like My Documents, My Contacts, My articles, My Groups, My Communities etc while creating panel page.
In my site idsa.org i have use that panel page for frontpage.
