Somewhere between writing project proposals, complaining about the carriers, and getting distracted by new kit, we forget about the audience we're creating for. Who are they, why do they care, and what responsibility (if any) do we have to them? Quelque part entre rédiger des propositions de projets, se plaindre des entreprises de télécommunications et se laisser distraire par une nouvelle trousse, nous oublions les personnes à qui s'adressent nos créations. Qui sont-elles, pourquoi démontrent-elles de l'intérêt et quelles sont nos responsabilités (s'il y a lieu) à leur endroit?
