[Tor www-team] Proposed personas

Thu Jan 9 17:17:08 UTC 2014

For these personas (which I think are a good idea), does it make more sense
for us to use names that are easier to remember, so while we're having
conversations we can easily recallthem? I know for myself, I'm going to
have a hard time remembering whether it's Angela or Tony that's the
journalist, and I think their last names are irrelevant.

Does it make more sense to use persona types like:

*S*am the *S*tudent
*J*ulie the *J*ournalist
*R*ob the (Security) *R*esearcher
*D*ave the *D*octor (or *D*onor)
*E*arl the (DevOps) *E*ngineer
*A*dam the (Political) *A*ctivist.

You know, Bob the Builder sort of thing. Easy to remember.

Thoughts from the team, particularly those who will be involved in
documentation and guides?
