What about the Dash on Oneiric Ocelot ?

 

Hello !!

I'm testing Ubuntu 11.10, and actually it's in really good shape. But the feature freeze is really near, and i don't see any change in the dash and places.
>From my point of view, this piece of unity need a redesign or a big modification :

In the main page :
- The main  page of the dash is really useless. It would be really more useful to put for example a mix of App place and files place with favourite and recent document.

In the apps place :
- The category list is not easy to use ( small and doesn’t provide a quick access to the categories)
- Favourites apps aren't very useful ( my favourites apps are in the the launcher )
- not installed apps add confusion and take an important place. In my mind it's better to put it in a lateral place with more smaller icon and let space to the installed apps)
- The result of installed place is very small and it's necessary to click on a tiny arrow to see the complete result.

Have you planned modifications for this release ?

( sorry for my bad english ;) )
Thanks for your great work on Ubuntu
Sébastien Lemarinel.
