So, with the overview, are you suggesting we replace the existing
overview with a project-centric one? I'm not sure if I can support that
idea. I like the workspace idea though, and the overall idea of working
with projects is a good one IMHO. I really am intrigued by the third
mockup, I really like that idea, especially with the timeline.
Can you clarify a little more on the UI functionality?

I have made an update of my mockups.
I focus on the project idea. I thinks that it's a good way to work.
On the overview, you manage your projects, and when you go to
workspace, the desktop-folder show only your project's files.
One desktop-folder for each projects.
I add an other widget, a mix between GAJ and Sezen, for a quickly
access to files in time.
The Overview:

The workspace:

And another try, with widgets, but it's too dark for me.

Thanks for listening

I continue in the "Project" idea direction. I have modified a
capture of the overview.
I have suppress the "Recent Documents" menu. I am sorry but I
never use it.
The icons and texts are too small for me. I prefer to see it
directly in Nautilus.
So I replaced it by a Projects menu.
Now we can drag and drop the project directly to the workspace we
want.
We can also keep workspace empty to make activity without project,
like listen music or surf the web.

Should I continue on that way? I need to know if you still like
this idea.
Thanks

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.

I think that this is an interesting idea that perhaps
should be explored further.

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". I prefer to say "Projects".
At work, at home I work by projects.
-I am in charge of the printers inventory of my company
(project 1)
-I have to rebuild the contacts database of my office
(project 2)
-I search the best tv world for my new home. (project 3)
-And I make a beautiful mockup for Gnome3 (project 4)
A project, it's a sort of basket where we can puts what
we need: files, Folders, contacts, hyperlinks, applications.
-We can rename it, suppress it, save it, restore it,
merge it to others.
-We (can) use only shortcuts.
I suggest that we use tabs directly on the destop to
represent projects.
We can assign a project to workspaces directly from the
Overview without using tabs.
We can also use a scroll menu to switch between projects.
Now the other question is: How do we feed the basket.
I thinks that, we can use Timelines directly on the desktop.
One for files, one for folders and another for contacts.
A timeline displays the file by used date, the most
recently on the left to keep the direction of reading.
We display few files and if we want to see more, we just
approach the mouse to the other side to scroll the rest
of the days.
We can also add starred at some elements to keep them in
the left part.
In order to get a better idea, here is my mockup:
http://nsa15.casimages.com/img/2010/04/26/100426022404679486.png
All of that, it's a new idea and it needs to be improve.
If you don't like the idea, I hope that you see now more
what you want or not.
Thanks for the listening.
I already shared my idea on the french ubuntu forum.
They help me to create and improve this idea here:
