Just to pickup on the prototyping discussion,
I have pulled my hair out about this for over 3 years.
The key to prototyping is to allow very quick changing of ideas to match the
GOALS of the user.
If you code it you start pouring concrete and immediately start building
walls to further innovation.
The more effort a coder invests in developing the prototype the more
resistent to changes the mind automatically becomes.
I finally settle on a simple Google doc with hand drawing of the screen with
implementation notes at the bottom.
Its not perfect but it does allow collaboration with google docs and it
doesn't have a whole technical knowledge thing to breakdown.

Below I have included an example of a screen I am developing for an
applicaiton:
