I like the idea of project and I think, it's can be a good partner of "Activities".
Someone suggests to me that we can also make groups of projects. I'am totally agree with him. Even more, if we keep a project in time. 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 my old project with all the good job that I have already done. So if I have to keep projects in time, I really need to make groups. In my job, I make 3 or 4 working projects by week. Another thought: I we use the project idea, we have to clearly make the difference between a Project bin and a folder. If the design is too close, the user can be disturb. And It will be more difficult to us, to explain that, when you delete a file from you project, the file doesn't disappear from you computer. I have worked with "Avid Interplay Database" which has a design close to a file manager, and it's easy to be confused. 2010/4/26 Sean Brady <[email protected]> > I think that this is an interesting idea that perhaps should be explored > further. > > > On 04/26/2010 07:03 AM, Kao Chen wrote: > > hi everybody, > > I have read a part of the "Finding and Reminding" discussion. > And I have a little drawing to suggest. > I imagine something which can match with yours ideas, I think. > I didn't take any consideration for the technical issues. > I first took the idea that a desktop couldn't be any longer a folder in > fullscreen. > > It's seems that the target for Gnome3 is to organize in "Activities".
