Hello!
A new mockup was released few days ago during Guadec.
http://git.gnome.org/browse/gnome-shell-design/plain/mockups/static/overview-application-picker.png

This mockup is close (I think) to a try that I was working for few weeks
now.
http://ubuntuone.com/p/ABU/
I discovered javascript and I tried to give life to my idea. It's a simple
web page, just a try to practice the code. You can pass you mouse over the
menus "application", "document", and "search" to activate a scrolling panel.
The desktops images and the categories are clickable too.

Two ideas are interesting in my opinion:
- A simple wipe that not cover all the desktop. Hiding all the screen on a
mini-screen (eeepc) is not disturbing, but on my 22" screen it is a big
inconvenient.
- A direct integration of Nautilus in the  scrolling panel to keep a quick
access to his searches and works. Nautilus is the main application that
everybody use every-time,  so why doesn't we  keep it more close to us?

I hope that you'll find this idea interesting.
Thanks for the listening.
Bye,
Kao


N.B, me and my fellows are searching the Mutter API, if it exists.
