Gnome shell app categories and sections.



Hi folks,

My name is Buyongo Phiri I am from South Africa and an I.T student, I would
like to contribute to the Gnome Project with some ideas on behaviour that I
think may be more natural for the shell users. I have attached some very
rough mockups to better aid in telling the story.
When a user clicks on the "activities" area on the top bar three tasks can
be accomplished.
 -Manage apps in current workspace/manage workspaces
 -Start a new app
 -Access an app on the dock
I think a more natural behaviour would be to separate workspace and the
dock from the dash. The dock and workspace switcher should allow the user
to invoke them separately without the need for an extra click. If I drag my
mouse to the top and click activities, I might as well go through two more
clicks to get to a specific application.
I think the current behaviour of "activities" should change to a more
appropriate "applications" which will land the user on a "app categories
dashboard" with all the categories of installed software, with alternative
views and allow the user to choose what their dashboard shows when invoked.
(e.g Recently used apps and docs, frequently used apps and files, collapsed
app view and so)

B.T.W Creating a wiki on Gnome world is super hard

Regards
Buyongo
