David, thanks for the mockup.
As I said, I think this proposal has a steep hill to climb in terms of
the likely clutter vs value assessment.
In particular, we're starting to look more closely at the relationship
between the launcher and workspaces. That means we need to be thinking
not only of the "windows of this app" but also fo the "windows of this
app per workspace". Adding minimised / maximised state to this is a
bridge too far, imo.
Nevertheless, good work on the concept and mockup. Thank you for that!
So, the decision is *not* to proceed with this idea.
I think this decision should be documented. The proposal, the mockup,
the key elements of the discussion, and the decision should be reflected
on unity.ubuntu.com. That will serve as a reference for future folks
considering the same, or similar ideas, in Unity or in other projects
like Gnome Shell. They might come to a different conclusion, or we might
revisit the subject ourselves, and such a document would be valuable
either way. David, if you care to put it together, we can ask Jorge to
put it on the site.
John, will you setup a structure on unity.ubuntu.com where we document
designs and design decisions, together with Jorge? And figure out how we
can make it easy to keep that up to date. It's a Wordpress site, so we
should be able to create new pages easily enough.
