Abstract
This chapter presents a novel approach to gather requirements for groupware applications, i.e. an application designed to be used by several users through a net of computers such as the Internet. In this chapter we propose several extensions to traditional templates typically used to gather requirements in order to include those requirements specifically related to groupware applications that currently cannot be described with traditional templates. The methodology we propose may be integrated in a process model to identify the roles and tasks needed in the following stages of the development process starting from the new requirements specification.
