User stories for Social API

Per our discussion on the telecon this afternoon, I've posted a first 
draft of some user stories on the wiki here:

https://www.w3.org/wiki/Socialwg/Social_API/User_stories

I've tried to capture in narrative form with named actors the 
requirements from the Requirements page. I've tried to keep the user 
stories short (~5 steps), and keep them clustered around an functional 
theme.

This has usually been successful with the exception of the Groups user 
story, which has about 11 steps.

I also tried to capture some developer stories, to give an indication of 
how I think developers will use the standard and the APIs that implement it.

https://www.w3.org/wiki/Socialwg/Social_API/User_stories#Proposed_developer_stories

I think it's probably worthwhile to keep these to make evaluating API 
proposals easier.

Please:

  * Feel free to update the user stories.
  * Try to keep them roughly within the boundaries I've defined above
    (narrative form, ~5 steps, clustered around a theme)
  * Remember that API != UI. It's probably bad to assume that users will
    "push a button" or "go to a Web page".
  * Talk to me by email before reorganizing the entire page to meet your
    personal idea of "user story".
  * Don't add votes yet. These user stories are still in flux and it's
    going to be awkward if we have to work around your vote.

Thanks,

-Evan
