I'm definitely interested, and I think there are at least a few more who would also be interested based on past posts. I made a post in feb to this list: http://mail.gnome.org/archives/gnome-shell-list/2011-February/msg00062.html <http://mail.gnome.org/archives/gnome-shell-list/2011-February/msg00062.html>With some ideas / mockups for my ideal window manager: http://gfxmonk.net/2011/02/06/my-ideal-window-manager.html
I've started to work on these features in gnome-shell itself (using javascript). but haven't had much time for it. I'm not convinced doing it in the shell is a great idea, as a lot of the functionality is not yet exposed to javscript-land. So I'll definitely check out your code when I get a moment, and we can hopefully work together. Cheers, - Tim.
