Tom and I discussed and decided that unless fixing counts is trivial, we should get an opinion to see if there is a way to enhance the visual interest of these sections on both projects and orgs, while keeping the functionality of a count or equivalent "more" link.

The blue oval was added to project success metrics and reports to provide a visual consistency with the panels below (discussion threads, resources, and members). The code to generate the count of existing success metrics and reports has not yet been generated, but is expect to come at some point.
Maybe the "needs" panel should have had similar treatment?

The section counts has evolved from a consistent UX in Orgs to an inconsistent and confusing one in projects.
The original reason to have a count of items was to let the user know if it is worth visiting that section. A count of zero in a blue oval lets the user know to definitely not bother clicking through to that sections page. Useful. Check. A count of 100 shows the user that there are is a lot more to see than will fit in this little box. Useful. Check.
An empty blue oval probably tells the user that the UX is inconsistent and confusing on this site.
No blue oval is a o.k. if all the items fit in the displayed box, but then we have to check to see that all items are displayed.
I suppose the easiest solution at this point is to remove the blue ovals with counts altogether from project sections.
