beatnik.infogami.com — Gimmie is a new concept of the panel designed to shift the direction of the desktop beyond the standard WIMP model (Windows, Icons, Menu, Pointer) towards one directly representing the concepts that modern desktop users use every day. It is being considered for inclusion in Project Topaz (a.k.a. Gnome 3.0)

Nice, I like how they integrated IM into the environment even more so than usual.

This has nothing to do with Gnome 3.0. It is a concept to learn from. No -the- new panel for gnome 3.0. :)

I think that the dock/panel itself is very good, but the idea of having to include everything through a main panel is just not something that will help people.Also, I noticed the shutdown button in the same menu, that's weak. There's already a boot operations button on the upper panel.This could be a very good thing for gnome, but needs to rethink some of the concepts.Also, it would help in gnome if people will be able to choose (If the whole thing is actually going into topaz) which way they'd like to organize their gnome enviornment (Either the gimmie way or the way it is now...).Also, people, revolutionary is not always about making something that has never been done before, it's about taking things (Most of the time, concepts) and making them good. In this case, Gimmie took the idea of having a dock like bar and being able to organize the desktop more easily (That every "object" in gimmie fits into one of the categories...)

You're comparing apples and ignorance.
