I think that this is an interesting idea that perhaps should be
explored further.

hi everybody,
I have read a part of the "Finding and Reminding" discussion.
And I have a little drawing to suggest.
I imagine something which can match with yours ideas, I think.
I didn't take any consideration for the technical issues.
I first took the idea that a desktop couldn't be any longer a folder in
fullscreen.
It's seems that the target for Gnome3 is to organize in "Activities". I
prefer to say "Projects".
At work, at home I work by projects.
-I am in charge of the printers inventory of my company (project 1)
-I have to rebuild the contacts database of my office (project 2)
-I search the best tv world for my new home. (project 3)
-And I make a beautiful mockup for Gnome3 (project 4)
A project, it's a sort of basket where we can puts what we need: files,
Folders, contacts, hyperlinks, applications.
-We can rename it, suppress it, save it, restore it, merge it to others.
-We (can) use only shortcuts.
I suggest that we use tabs directly on the destop to represent projects.
We can assign a project to workspaces directly from the Overview
without using tabs.
We can also use a scroll menu to switch between projects.
Now the other question is: How do we feed the basket.
I thinks that, we can use Timelines directly on the desktop.
One for files, one for folders and another for contacts.
A timeline displays the file by used date, the most recently on the
left to keep the direction of reading.
We display few files and if we want to see more, we just approach the
mouse to the other side to scroll the rest of the days.
We can also add starred at some elements to keep them in the left part.
In
order to get a better idea, here is my mockup:

All of that, it's a new idea and it needs to be improve.
If you don't like the idea, I hope that you see now more what you want
or not.
Thanks for the listening.
I already shared my idea on the french ubuntu forum.
They help me to create and improve this idea here:
