I have read the Gnome-Shell documents but he is too long.
The document is too detail to be well understand.
We can't see the relation between concepts and technical solutions IMHO. 

It's an example but in few lines we can write the main goals of Gnome-Shell, and see the main concepts to achieve them

The goals:
With Gnome-Shell, we want people focus on their work. 
We will try to avoid an intrusive OS.
User need to be focused on their tasks and forgot the system.

The solutions:
We will separate tasks from the windows management with an overview.
We will keep, on the desktop, only what they needs for their current task.
We will use  search, and timeline to provide an natural access to file instead of traditional folders hierarchy.

I think, we can combine all the key points to provide a simple vision of the new Gnome philosophy.
