It looks interesting but what I like to see in GNOME 3.0 is K3b and KMail version for GNOME .

Maybe left/right arrow buttons could be contextualised : i.e. display left arrow at the top left side of Monday panel (on the 1st screenshot) and the right arrow on the top right side of wednesday panel ?;

I see this as needless feature bloat that eats up cpu, memory, and hard drive resources, and I would hope that this would not be part of the default Gnome install.

If this is going to be tied into the desktop so tightly that it’s going to be almost impossible to remove it, I’ll be looking for a lighter desktop environment.

This is coming from a long-time Gnome user. I chose Gnome over KDE because it was lighter. If Gnome is going to go down the same path as KDE, then I’ll find something else.

@einalex Regarding the scrollbar: Why not use a system like F-Spot? They have a scrollbar that also act as a histogram showing the number of items at each date. Also, it would be good to experiment with vertical views for the main pane. Imagine this as a list of emails in your favorite program. Each day is separated by a header. And there is plenty of horizontal space for the activity descriptions, text, metadata, etc. Also, scrolling is much easier in the vertical direction. An infinite-scrolling system that loads older activities as you scroll down would be perfect.

I have to say, as an ‘ordinary user’, this looks way scarier and clunkier than just using ‘find files’. I can’t even read half of those filenames, they’re truncated too badly and many of them are very simliar (screenshot-blah).

And do I really have to look at things a day at a time? Can’t I look at a whole week, or a whole month, at once?

@einalex: I think a scroll bar ala OO.o Calc would be great: it could let you to scroll the last 7 days, if you release it on the 7th day then it shrinks and lets you to scroll the last 14 days and so on.

Well hello, just wanted to say thanks for your work, what I’ve seen so far looks great and I really believe that it will change and improve my workflow and stuff.
Whenn it’ll be copied over to Windows 9 or something, you’ll know you really had a good idea.
