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..
