Hello,

Some more details on the 'notification center' as its apparently
called can be found here:
<http://live.gnome.org/Boston2008/GUIHackfest/WindowManagementAndMore>;
a research on status indicators can be found here:
<http://live.gnome.org/GnomeShell/Design/Research/StatusIndicators>.
The GNOME Shell design document is located here:
<http://www.gnome.org/~mccann/shell/design/GNOME_Shell-20091114.pdf>
(the Messaging Mode section contains details and at least one
screenshot of the new notification method) and something similar to
the applications indicator can be found on
<http://www.gnome.org/~mccann/shell/mockups/20091114/shell-mockup-overview.png>,
originally posted here:
<http://blogs.gnome.org/mccann/2009/11/14/mockturtlesuppe/>. Something
like the Me applet was discussed here:
<http://blogs.gnome.org/mccann/2008/10/24/presentity/>.

If I'm correct the Notify OSD of GNOME Shell is called the Message
Tray. It is further explained here:
<http://blogs.gnome.org/mccann/2009/07/05/getting-the-message/>, the
blog post links to a screencast demo at
<http://www.gnome.org/~mccann/shell/mockups/20090630-demo/>.

It seems like GNOME Shell is going to duplicate a lot of the Indicator
efforts from Canonical.
