actually the mailing list is only for discussion.

you will see loads of ideas flying around. But some of them may be very hard or 
impossible to implement.

your suggestions seems practical and dockbarX already has something similar, 
would be great to see it in unity.

to submit, file a bug report and assign it to ayatana-design. Am quoting 
Owais's instructions here:
>First assign the bug to ayatana-design, this will propagate the
message to the design team.
Once, they discuss the idea and confirm. They'll mark it as
fix-released and then the actual code can land in Unity.
 
Things might be actually bit different but that's how I understand them
 
Good Job and Good Luck! :)

Submit where, how? I thought this mailing list was intended for that. 

By the way, where are patches discussed and approved?

Window preview are overrated :P 
Windows from the same application tend to look the same: chat, terminals, file 
manager, spreadsheets, text editors, all kinds of documents.It also breaks the 
look and feel from the Launcher pop-up.

IMHO, there is nothing easier to scan and search than text in a vertical layout.
Maybe it would be nice to raise the window when you hover an item in the list, 
so you get the best of both.

Recently I've done task in which I needed to refer to several spreadsheets and 
other documents. In Unity, changing between the open documents was quite 
difficult, I had to think to much to find a window and my focus was constantly 
shifting from the main task.



The Launcher is quite agnostic to multiple window applications, so Unity relies 
to much on the window manager for this. I found it quite inferior to the more 
traditional task bar for this type of workflow. I've ended up running another 
task bar(tint2) to get my work done.








Did you know that you can use alt+BAT (button above tab) to switch between 
document windows? It's quite efficient.
