hi everybody, I originally posted this proposition on the Gnome-Shell mailing list, but someone suggested me to do the same here.
I have searched a way to get a best organization of my work. Actually in my job, I install a new machine. For this, I have stored up documents, hyperlinks, installation scripts, and manufacturer contacts. If I have done a good job, I will never work again on this machine. But most of the time, 6 month later, my Boss will say to me: 'Hey! can you upgrade this machine and make it do the coffee now, please' I will be glad, if I can find again all my project documents in one box by a simple click. I think we can handle our work by projects, and groups of projects. A project, it's a sort of basket where we can put what we need: files, Folders, contacts, hyperlinks, applications. -We can rename it, suppress it, save it, restore it, merge it to others. -We use only shortcuts. At work, at home I work by projects. -I am in charge of the printers inventory of my company -I have to rebuild the contacts database of my office -I search the best tv world for my new home. -I make a beautiful mockup for Gnome3 And I do Activities like: -Listen music -Watch movies -surf the web I like the idea of project and I think, it's can be a good partner of "Activities". We can already manage projects with many folders, and many shortcuts, but you need a very big sense of organization. I think we can change the approach of the workspace to make it more easier. I made a first mockup, I took the idea that a desktop couldn't be a folder in fullscreen. I add also three timelines to get an quickly access in time to files, contacts, and folders. The time, with Zeitgeist, will be a big component of the new Gnome3. http://nsa15.casimages.com/img/2010/04/26/100426022404679486.png I made also a second mockup here http://nsa14.casimages.com/img/2010/04/29/100429085821394270.png It's show, how we can manage projects with workspace directly from the overview. I am not a good designer, but I hope that you understand the idea behind this drawing. The first discussion was here: http://mail.gnome.org/archives/gnome-shell-list/2010-April/msg00200.html Thanks for the listening. Kao
