Hey guys,
In order to develop and redesign OpenACS.org, I've written a number
of Personas that will help define the target audience for the site.
I have used Lars Pinds' awesome work
(http://developer.arsdigita.com/acs-java/user-centered/) and the
book The Inmates are Running the Asylum (which was
lent to me by Patrick Colgan,
who I guess found out about it from Lars' site.). This document will
be revised as comments come in, as we figure out more precisely who
the target audience is and when I finish the book.
I've used composite models of members from the
OpenACS community, some of the clients that I've either gained or
lost and other places that I've met freaks. Much of this is also
my "vivid" imagination that has gotten me into trouble more than
once. If it gets into trouble here then I guess it's what I deserve.
Also, I haven't a spell check.
I also used the great marketing discussion Nathan Bogo started for
ideas.
You can find the document
here
(https://openacs.org/new-file-storage/one-file?file_id=160). You
will also find this post is the introduction to the document because
I'm too lazy to write some original.
Please comment! I think this will also help with the marketing
discussion.
