[ODFPlugtest] One-on-One plugfest activities

[Preparation for ODF Plugfest and other plugtesting activities]

Hello everyone!

I'm looking forward to this workshop next week very much.  I heard one 
suggestion that we might treat the afternoon sessions as a series of 
one-on-one testing opportunities, where we can pair up and try various 
scenarios.  I think this is a great idea, something like "pair 
programming" we see in Extreme Programming.

In that spirit, I've added a "One-on-One" section to the wiki where we can 
link to new pages where we list the kinds of things each one of us will be 
interested in doing in such one-on-one encounters.  I've created an 
example page for myself, listing the topics I am interested in discussing, 
one-on-one, as well as a table where you can reserve a time slot to work 
with me on any of those topics. 

My colleague, MingFei Jia, will be traveling from Beijing to join us as 
well.  He will be happy to do interop tests using IBM Lotus Symphony.

Please consider filling out a similar interest list for yourself as well.

Regards,

-Rob
