Re: [Ayatana] Work by project

We have create a new design page in the GnomeShell Playground to promote this idea.
I hope it will be more clear to understand.

The link is here:

Thanks for the support

I made a little update of my mockup with a big fat .gif just here:

I hope that you'll love it.

I am not really aware about the technique.
But we can use just folders. For each new project (desktop), we create a new desktop-folder.
And we hide a background photo in the folder with a point ( .folderBackground.png).

I think folders can be very simple to use and easy to manage for the devs and for the users.

Hi,
I have made a two news mockups.
The first is the overview with a new menu  to manage projects.
You can to drag and drop a project to the workspace you want.

The second is a fullscreen mockup with a project activated.

For each project, you have a widget full of files who belong to the activated project.
I add an other widget, a mix between GAJ and Sezen, for a quickly access to files in time.
I covered all the desktop because If you work on a project, you don't have to use desktop.
But I don't like very much this idea, and the desktop is a little bit dark.

So I made a third mockup here, with one desktop-folder for each projects:

And the sezen dock can be hide.

I have made a lot of mockups, and each time I regret that a project management doesn't already exist. ;)

while i regret the absense of a lot of features in GNOME Shell's sidebar, this one you are recommending is really hot!

thanks for the ideas, very inspiring, project based thinking is a way to go.
what i like most in your design is the total disregard of data types, you are diplaying programs, people and files/folders as objects related to a common use - that's incredible ;)

this idea of yours is especially useful in implementing the ideas on the open collaboration services spec on freedesktop.org
the spec tries to integrate commonity with the desktop, collaborative projects are what i'm thinking of in this respect..
