Task list - experience order'

Experience is a rough concept that forms a rough continuum that might help 
organise our thoughts about tasks. Experience goes from NO experience of 
accessibility through to WAI mega guru - with teccies, accessibility 
advocates, trainers etc. somewhere inbetween. Many things are variable but 
you can think of the lowest experience that might want to get this 
information - make sense?
