i had time to think some more on this and thought that being able
to relate/link objects together would open up many possibilities, see:
http://brian.muhumuza.googlepages.com/working_with_objects.html
Overall, very well thought out. I have a couple of concerns, which
you may have already thought through but which are not represented here.
1. The Shelf doesn't seem scalable enough to allow for many Projects.
How do you envision managing dozens or even hundreds of Projects?
Would there be some type of Project Management view or screen?
2. "Objects/windows that do not belong to any project cannot be
shoved anywhere. So, the strip for minimized objects (on the right)
is split, and such windows occupy the lower part." Should it even be
possible to create documents that exist outside of a Project? That
could get very messy if we don't have a traditional file manager.
3. I have some concerns about using a right-click, as that makes it
much less portable to a pen/stylus/finger-operated tablet interface.
The way you used it (for opening then auto-minimizing documents) is
not very crucial, so we could probably allow it. But, it is something
I'd like us all to keep in mind when we're doing UI concepting.
Additionally, Quentin's questions apply for me as well.
Thanks again -- nice work!
J.
