I don't think those were very good or even very focussed. Enkitha= n has
prepared a really good user story last week, and I'd like to take that = as a
starting point.

However, on going over this thread it's becoming clear to me that getti= ng any
sort of focus, especially focus on user needs will be a difficult task.
