tomaz was against showing them anywhere but the profile, i think.
his vision is that no overlays and pop-up windows should be shown.

as i understood he's now planning to move the statistics in the profile as well.
not sure if you have discussed that.

pretty much the pool is like a folder, but it can contain photos from
different folders (URI).
i call it a pool because it can contain photos that were made during
the dive window, or perhaps outside of it (e.g. on boat).

this one is more of a real diver discussion topic, so not really for
me, for the time being.
