That's too bad, I'm still looking forward to some day, someh= ow making
an in person meeting with you and other lattedock people happen..


unfortunately for the last nine months= I am the only one "Latte" person. I have
lost contact = with Johan the second developer we were working with. We
dis= agreed at some point were Latte was heading and afterwards I couldnt

In the meantime, can you provide a clear summary on what are the
features/behaviors you expect for lattedock users' need?


I suppose you are referring to Activit= ies/VDs topic.
Based on that the most advanced feature for latted= ock users
is going to be introduced with Latte v0.8 next week.
That is multiple layouts(panel/docks) loaded simultaneously
based on the Activities running.

That is of cou= rse X11 centric until Activities-support for windows is introduced
somehow in wayland.

What Latte is doing, is = that can set for its panels/docks to belong
in different Activiti= es. The Latte docks/panels are always OnAllDesktops so
if in the = future there will not be a combination of Activities and VDs at the
same time it isnt important for Latte.


As a plasma user I am a [Multiple Activities and= 1 VD] user so I am get used
in that workflow and I wouldnt like = to miss it :)


Concerning Latte user= s demographics what I have in my mind without any
study but = only based on the personal communication, the users are separated like
this:

[A] - 75% (1 Activity=C2=A0 + Multiple= VDs)
[B] - 20% (Multiple Activities + 1 VD)
[C] - = 5%=C2=A0=C2=A0 (Multiple Activities + Multiple Desktops)

The above image keeps me focused on the features that must be de= finitely
supported and what bugs are very important...

Some of [C] group members I think that can become [B] group = users
with better organization of their workflows to different Ac= tivities.
The thing is that [C] group members are very difficult = to find in order to
understand their needs...
