Beynon-Davies, P., (2002) Information Systems - an introduction to Informatics in Organisations. Palgrave. P344.
This text covers information systems design generally and includes requirements elicitation and the formation of a requirements specification. It recommends use case models as a vehicle for creating this specification, in a similar way to the use of prototypes suggested here.
Mumford, E. (1995) Effective Systems Design & Requirements Analysis: The ETHICS Method. Macmillan.
The ETHICS method is a detailed systematic design and development process which targets the identification of stakeholder needs and, by satisfying those needs, creates a level of job satisfaction that is likely to contribute to successful system implementation. The text of this book is now available online at http://www.enid.u-net.com/C1book1.htm
Robertson, S & Robertson, J., (1999) Mastering the Requirements Process. Addison-Wesley. P79.
Robertson calls the process of requirements gathering "getting to the essence of the system". This chapter on trawling for requirements recommends apprenticing as a way of learning how individual stakeholders work and what the system has to deliver to provide an effective working environment.

If you can read this text, it means you are not experiencing the Plone design at its best. Plone makes heavy use of CSS, which means it is accessible to any internet browser, but the design needs a standards-compliant browser to look like we intended it. Just so you know ;)
