Great work.
I really like your Project & Shelf proposal :-)

I need more details to fully understand it.

"If we clicked project Y's icon, it would maximize across the screen  
and we can open a few documents but if we double-clicked it, it is  
exchanged with any other project's objects i.e. Project Y's objects  
are opened while everything else is sent back to the shelf."

What do you mean by the last sentence precisely?…
What happens to objects in Project Y Shelf?
What happens to objects which were in use (on the desktop) the last  
time Project Y was used?
What happens to objects in Project X Shelf?
What happens to Project X's objects which are in use (on the desktop)?

Where minimized windows/objects are put?

Is the main Shelf (in row form) a place to put objects you want to  
move between projects?

Also the possibility to drag an object (on the desktop) onto a  
project icon could be nice. By triggering the related Project Shelf  
display, you could exchange objects smoothly. It could a nice  
addition to the mechanism I just asked about in my last question.

In my mind, if the content of each Project Shelf doesn't remain  
identical when you switch from one project to another one, you lose  
much flexibility that such Dashboard-like Shelf can provide. That's  
why I would be in favor to hide the objects on the desktop (and not  
to alter the objects in the current Project Shelf) when we switch to  
a different project. If we zoom into project icon on a switch, the  
hiding would be implicit then.

I have no special comments on Contact section. It sounds well thought  
and makes sense.

Cheers,
Quentin.
