Re: flagship use cases proposal

Hi James and All,

This sounds like a good idea. I will try and prepare my use case by the 
end of this week. I'll be taking the blogging use case.

Is anyone interested in writing a flag ship use case for the compliance 
with business contracts use case?

Thanks,
Paul
