Hi, I was thinking a bit about the project based environment, and here are few questions:
1. why is it better than current environment? 2. I am going to be more productive with the project-oriented environment? if yes, then how? 3. what I can do in the project oriented environment that i can not do now? 4. can i use existing applications from current environments in the project oriented environment? if yes, how? 5. i would like to write an article. why do i have to create two things [project and article document] instead of one? 6. how can I share files between projects? 7. when to create a copy of a file and when to share it? and how? 8. how are "small objects" (addresses, bookmarks, post-it notes) managed across projects? 9. should we have something like 'default' project? if yes, how it should be handled? The question #4 is very important. Many projects with great ideas are not widely used because they can not cooperate with what already exists. Users are not going to leave their preferred tools. The POE should have 'hooks' for external apps and tools to feel as natural as possible. It does not mean that the boundary should not be visible...it allways be there,unless an application is created specificaly for the POE. Cooperate. Yes, but how? And what tools are worth the cooperation? Some of them have obvious, but not told answers. Perhaps more questions comming soon...
