But I'm a bit concerned. The fact that you didn't understand the workview seems to show that you didn't take the time to understand GTG at all.

GTG is *not* a simple todo-list (like Tasque). GTG has a powerful set of features and answer to *a lot* of use cases.

When designing GTG interface, we took two months without writing any line of code. Only for the design. Doing an application design is not just putting some fancy pictures together. You've to:

1) Identify your target audience
2) Identify the needs for each category of your audience (we used personas)
3) Identify the different workflows
4) Demonstrate that you UI allows the different categories of your audience to work with their own workflow.

Your mockups are really nice but I don't see any deep usability analysis. It looks like we are currently in the process of doing that study "after" the mockup. (Where's the X button? There's not, because I don't use the X button).

In fact, I now realize we are all doing it wrong. We should start from scratch the UX analysis and see if we can come to something more GNOME 3 than the current solution (which was heavily influenced by GNOME 2 HIG).

I admit that it sucks that our first analysis is not available somewhere. Unfortunately, it was never written anywhere else tan on sheet of papers.
