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
http://freedesktop.org/wiki/Specifications/open-collaboration-services
the spec tries to integrate commonity with the desktop, collaborative projects are what i'm thinking of in this respect..
