Could whoever is administrator for the appropriate teams arrange it so that ubuntu-dev don't get mails like this?

When you click on the ubuntu(dash-invoker button) you are presented with recent apps, isnt it redundant to have recent apps on the apps lens*? Also shouldnt the apps lens categorize applications instead of an alphabetically listing all of them? Its a real eye-sore moving around seaching for power settings or something and even worse when you dont know* or remember the app name. (*Recent apps-maybe it would be better to have two rows by default instead of having a user click to see the second row?? ) I think something like so would be visually more agreeable... App dash [Recent Apps - *Redundant because you see the same information when dash launches] Maybe it should go? Label - Accessories Filter All Apps under this category [Jump to section*?] Label - Accesibility All Apps under this category Label - Customisation All Apps under this category Also maybe a colour coded overlay for the different app sections or all apps in a certain category will have a certain colour when hovered over*? My last question is for the launcher, would it be easier to have the launcher pin running apps to the top like so. Dash invoker button [running apps] {spacer of some sort for visual whitespace} Favourites Trash When I have my laucher full of apps that are running and it mixes with my favourites it can be quite cluttered and there isnt a real easy way to scroll around. For example on my computer it is as follows. Dash invoker Firefox Software center Text editor Home folder Terminal Miro Abiword Eclipse etc* Running app Running app Running app thats in my launcher Maybe it would work better if all running apps where at the top then if an app is pinned to the launcher and running it simply moves up the "food chain" when not running it moves back to its launcher slot.And to make sure users can see the distinction, the area covered by running apps should have a slightly different colour. -- This message was sent from Launchpad by Buyongo Phiri (https://launchpad.net/~buyongo) to each member of the unity-dev discussion list team using the "Contact this team" link on the unity-dev discussion list team page (https://launchpad.net/~unity-dev).
