	Proposed Text to add in Section 9.1
	
	
	9.1.9 Identify the user

	Design should begin with an understanding of the intended users.
This includes population profiles that reflect training, motivation, and
goals.

	9.1.10 Create task profiles

	With the intended user in mind, designers should formally write
down user tasks. 
	
	
	
	
	
	Reference: Designing the User Interface

	From the text:

	- Know thy user All design should begin with an understanding of
the intended users. This includes population profiles that reflect age,
gender, physical abilities, education, cultural or ethnic background,
training, motivation, goals, and personality. An example of creating
profiles would be the division of users into novice or first-time users,
knowledgeable intermittent users, and expert frequent users.

	- Create task profiles. After drawing out user profiles,
designers should formally write down user tasks.
