Hi folks Got this interesting proposal from Pablo, and thought it should be sent to the list rather than handled in private correspondence. It reminds me of something David Siegel was sketching out, also inspired by the challenge of "how we can make the most of the new space". Pablo, if you're not subscribed to Ayatana, it's the best place to sketch out a proposal like this. I appreciate both the detail in the proposal and the relaxed way it's pitched! Mark -------- Original Message --------
At first I wasn't very convinced on the UI change, and we
exchanged a couple of messages on the matter in the related bug report,
but I've thought about it and I agree with you that this could bring
interesting possibilities.
I've designed a concept called Esfera, which I think could be a
huge step forward to the user experience, while bringing innovation to
the Ubuntu desktop. The idea is explained in the attached PDF; I hope
you can take the time to read it or at least send it to the Canonical
Design team. Sorry for the mockup; I'm a disaster using GIMP, but I
hope it illustrates the idea.
I'd be very pleased to answer any question you may have about it.
I'd just request that if you implement the idea, I appear somewhere as
the author of the concept, and I've be glad if you kept the name I've
chosen.
Of course, there are lots of ideas that go nowhere, so I'd
perfectly understand if you consider it useless -- just thought it was
good and wanted to share it with you.
Regards,
Pablo Quirós
