| topic of "A Standard ODF Object Model", essentially laying out my thoughts on
| why we needed an "ODF Toolkit". As part of that presentation I listed "20
| Prototypical App Dev Scenarios", my attempt to enumerate all the fundamental
| patterns of use for ODF. I did a blog post on this list later that year.
