This blog details my current software developments, and other related issues.
Was just doing some random browsing as I desperately try and digest the Domino's pizza I ate for dinner so I can go to bed and wake up in time for work, and stumbled across this. Have people seen this before? It's basically a re-implementation of Novell's fancy 'start' menu, with a more Ubuntu-esque slant. It seems to be in its infancy, but very neat so far all the same, check it out :)
re-implementation is slightly incorrect as it is the same implementation as Novell with some tweaks.
It is pulled from the gnome cvs where novell put it. They just did a few ubuntu-izations to it. SUSE has a special gnome patch to create a ~/.recent-applications file just like default gnome creates a ~/.recent-used file for the recently used menu. Ubuntu doesn't have these patches, so Recent Applications (SLED) was changed to Places for the Ubuntu implementation of the slab.
The source for it is available from GNOME CVS:
cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@anoncvs.gnome.org:/cvs/gnome co slab
I hope this clarifies a few things
slab has nothing to do with this. USP is a completely new and different project, written in python. Check out the initial discussion thread, you'll find screenshots and more info than the website which currently seems to lack info:

@Jeff: It's a completely new project... as mat says, written from scratch in python
Just "to clarify a few things"...
