Having no time to skim through the design documents, knowing that a workspace 
is dedicated to a specific task is great. Please make it better. I am expecting 
that I can save all my workspaces and restore them and all the related tasks 
with it. It might be possible to have an option to save it in the cloud so that 
I can retrieve it elsewhere. 


Great work...

GNOME Shell is designed with the expectation that users will have 
overlapping windows. It's not designed for spreading out windows 
non-overlapping among multiple workspaces. 

The basic function of workspaces in the current design is to represent 
separate tasks with the expectation; most switching will occur between 
windows within the same desktop. 

There are going to be improvements for switching between workspaces (see 
http://jimmac.musichall.cz/log/), but current plans are to keep things a 
two-level thing - switch workspaces than switch windows.
