Hi Alex, all, first of all. Sorry for taking so long to answer your question - but I have been ill last week, feeling slightly better now...
I talked to my collegues (Heiko and Sven - s. CC) and we are actually very interested to help you, Frank and others to improve Dolphin's sidebar. Sven is our intern and willing to do the work (of course with our professional assistence). But we have to slow down a little bit. Your proposal looks nice and useful but we are not sure what questions it really answers. So we should start with more general research before evaluating a mockup (e.g. who uses sidebars, which scenario needs to be supported,... In terms of "Recents": in what kind of dimension do user think, etc). Of course this only makes sense if there are volounteers on the programming side willing to improve the sidebar based on the results (and getting involved in the research generally). So summing it up: I would suggest not to implement the idea of a timeline, but I see potential for improving the sidebar(s). Please let us know how to proceed! All the best, Björn P.S. Please add Heiko, Sven and me to any replies, as we are not subscribed to any of the ML. Am Donnerstag, 7.
