Sam E. Lawrence:
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.
+1, it's going to get tricky with the names + number of personas!
Silviu Riley:
This gets away from names, which reference specific cultures (Habib the dissident implies a foreign leaning to the persona. Dissidents might be located anywhere in the world)
+1, it wasn't my intention to imply a foreign leaning to the personas I created but I agree with your suggestion to refer to the personas by roles.
Caveat: although my job requires me to touch many aspects of UX/IA it's not my day job and so feedback on this from somebody who has uses this skill set on a professional basis would be greatly welcomed.

Maybe simplify it even further to job or simple description: The Student The Journalist The Researcher The Donor The Engineer The Activist The Dissident (might need even more protection than The Activist) This gets away from names, which reference specific cultures (Habib the dissident implies a foreign leaning to the persona. Dissidents might be located anywhere in the world) Reference the personas by capitalizing the name (The Journalist vs. the journalist) Silviu. On Jan 9, 2014 12:17 PM, "Sam E.

Does it make more sense to use persona types like:
Sam the Student Julie the Journalist Rob the (Security) Researcher Dave the Doctor (or Donor) Earl the (DevOps) Engineer Adam the (Political) Activist.
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?

Thank you very much for adding that persona. I have made some tweaks to it for readability:

I've added the persona of a cautious activist under an orpressive regime:
## Habib Itamar, Dissident, 24 Habib is a political activist under an orpressive regime which uses heavy internet filtering. From a friend, he received a USB stick with a bootable Tails Live System. He does not know how Tor works and what he has to keep in mind when using it, and will not connect the system to the internet without knowing more about this (he can only access the version of the website we will distribute with Tails).Max
