As part of our Product Definition Process, we are picking up where we  
left off with the Target User Group exercise to define the set of  
Usage Scenarios we plan to support in the 1.0 timeframe.

Target User summary on the design list: http:// 
lists.osafoundation.org/pipermail/design/2006-June/004884.html

Ecosystem 1.0 Usage Scenarios write-up: http://wiki.osafoundation.org/ 
bin/view/Journal/OneDotZeroUsageScenarios

At a high-level, the Ecosystem 1.0 Usage Scenarios(*) can be  
categorized into 13 Usage Patterns(**):
1. Record for the benefit of others
2. Record for your own benefit
3. Process and Manage FOCUS
4. Keep track of...
5. Schedule
6. Coordinate
7. Plan
8. Drive and Facilitate
9. Summarize and Communicate
10. Document
11. Contribute
12. Review
13. Archive

What's on the usage scenario wiki page:
+ Workflow sketch for each usage pattern
+ Primary target user(s) for each usage pattern
+ The tools that our primary target user(s) use today to satisfy each  
usage pattern
+ How Ecosystem 1.0 proposes to solve for each usage pattern
-- Links to wiki write-ups and specs that go into more detail can be  
found at the bottom of the page
+ What the Ecosystem will be missing in the 1.0 timeframe for each  
usage pattern

*A more detailed list of all of the usage scenarios and the use cases  
they are based on can be found here: http://wiki.osafoundation.org/ 
pub/Journal/OneDotZeroUsageScenarios/OneDotZeroUsageScenarios.xls

*All of the use cases, usage scenarios, usage patterns and workflows  
are drawn from the user interviews we've conducted: http://
