I agree that activities are the most awesome thing that happened in KDE and in Linux and I also agree that virtual desktops(workspaces) have to remain as such, each with the unique ability to have its own set of wallpapers, globes, slideshows, widgets etc.
This combination is so rich and meaningful that only unimaginable persons wish for the abolition of virtual desktops in favor of activities.(or vice versa)

I have demonstrated the Linux KDE in a lot of windows users and they feel awe for what they saw.
Many of them switched to Linux and KDE after this.

Now my suggestion for activities and for better cooperation between them and between activities and virtual desktops:

1)A screen edge for activities that will show them all as a grid.

2)A new effect: activity cube.

3)A hypercube that will show at the same time activities +virtual desktops plus a multi-grid that does the same.

4)New activities: a)writing b)searching c)programming d)watching

5)Activity panel default on the main panel using icons

6)New options and features like a)record activity b)save activity c)sending (!) activity d)merge(!!) activity e)lock activity

I self study QT and Python so I hope i can help in some of these

Please submit each of these as separate ideas.

5 is already planned, so it would be marked as "in progress" if you post it.

For 1 there is already a grid-style activity manager planned, but letting you set it as a screen edge effect is a valid idea.

4 is already there - you can define whatever activities you want. I believe there are also plans (at least there is already another brainstorm idea) to allow sharing activities (using GHNS).

I agree that the other ideas should be submitted separately and fully explained, as most of them sound very interesting.
