GR1 - Task analysis

User analysis

The intended users are the authors of fiction and fan-fiction who want to write collaboratively and the people that read them.  Most current authors are familiar with the basics of web-based posting, word processing, and Internet usage.  A subclass of the authors are moderators, who create and maintain group stories.  This subclass will probably be more familiar with word processing, though they may not have any more experience using web interfaces.
