This is a generic application interface with moveable features that companies could put their applications in and then the users could move stuff around and let eachother use the result and there would be a popularity thing and the best arrangements would rise to the top and the designers would get paid
by how much of a percentage of the design they did.

Meh. "Moving stuff around" isn't the interesting part. |
|

The interesting part is the "popularity thing" and "best arrangements", as in massively distributed evolutionary computation. Brings to mind the Golem@Home project at Brandeis University where the researchers posted screensaver software that people could voluntarily download onto their computers at home and evolve robots on their CPU downtime and upload the results to Brandeis. That part of this could be like that part of the Brandeis stuff (see link). |

So, which part do you find interesting, [jutta]? Workflow design? Different aspects of look-and-feel, other than position? I would say they're both interesting, to the extent that I'm willing to spend/waste time fiddling with them.

This is a good solution to the problem of "how can we ensure that nobody can immediately use anybody else's things and stuff". |

Isn't that exactly what gnome does? |

[Galbinus_Caeli] No, I think you're confusing 'user-configurable interface' with 'sitting on a toadstool fishing wearing a funny hat'. |

[marklar] - thanks for letting me know that. Ive been emplying hundred of the little buggers for weeks and my interface is still exactly the same. |

[marklar] Thanks, I get those mixed up all the time. |

You think that's bad, my local lake is full of Windows Vista. |
