Tim,

This sounds like a great talk, and if you eventually post the slides,
please also mention that here!

In 2010, Dan Kaminsky asked me for a web-wide list of Microsoft office
documents. His goal was similar to what you're doing. He doesn't
appear to have published any results from the project, alas! He always
seemed to have 100 times as many great ideas than he had time to
finish.
