I have an action from the last call to look for a use case template for
the activity use cases. We talked about the glue-wg approach and I had a
look at their template. It's simple and succinct:

Description:  A short description of the use case
Actors:       Roles involved in the use case
Conversation: Sentences that help the understanding of the use case
Acceptance:   How to test the use case
Endorsed by:  The project supporting the use case

They have broken longer use cases into shorter ones that can be captured
by this template.

If people think this is a useful approach we could start from a high
level use case description that is  free format---e.g., a one page
description plus one figure, like what Philipp and Alexander did---
which may be easier to write initially and perhaps easier for people to
agree on. And then as a group decompose these higher level description
into smaller pieces.
