I think that something like that would be good for content you have to log-in to. I wouldn't use it for content you have full access to though (a miniature gives far more information for attempting to identify the file). > Each workspace is a scroll view, containing windows.

Okay -- the term "scroll" confused me in this context. So, would it behave more like a zoomable interface (where the other documents retain their proportional distance from the clicked document), or do the other windows fall behind and stack (like Expose)? Am I assuming correctly that it's the former, and that to get to another document the user would scroll up/down/left/right? > Thanks.

No admin rights yet (this is my first post to Étoilé, I think). Sorry -- that was a question for Nicolas (I should have directed that better). J.
