Hi Robinson, all,

Sounds awesome. Will it be possible to get video footage of users? (Two notes:
please get some data on the users (age, sex, computer usage habits) +
make sure users explain what they are doing and thinking all the time.)

Some ideas ...
* Start center:
  * On a fresh installation, ask if they are confused by the whitespace on the
    right side
  * Ask users what they would expect behind the Extensions button
    (before clicking it of course)(see also bug 75563) (Do users understand what
    extensions are?)
  * Ask users to create a new spreadsheet, a new presentation

* Writer: styles:
  * Ask users if they understand what a style is (and if they're using the
    functionality)
  * Ask users to write two paragraphs of random text
  * Ask users to create a paragraph and a character style
  * Ask users to apply these styles to one of the paragraphs
  * Ask users to reset styles

* Writer: auto-generated tables:
  * Ask users to create a document with headings etc. (or maybe provide one,
    to make it quicker)
  * Ask users to create a table of contents
  * Ask users to change a heading and make sure the table is in sync

* Writer: page number:
  * Ask users to insert a page number in the format "Page n of m" into the
    footer of a document

* Writer: Working with templates
  -- though I am not sure if the template manager is in good enough shape for
   this (there are very obvious pain points), so no proposal what to do here
   yet.

* Calc: conditional formatting:
  * Have they ever used it? Do they understand what it is?
  * Apply a colour bar to a range of cells
  * etc.

Hm... too many Writer proposals. Anything useful among these?
