+1, it's going to get tricky with the names + number of personas!

+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)

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).

I've since added the persona for a Tor Relay Operator:

``` ## Stephan Earls, DevOps Engineer, 27

Stephan is a DevOps Engineer for a startup where he is responsible
for network infrastructure, automation and data management. As a
strong believer in the Tor Project he has been a Tor Relay Operator
for a little over a year and has encouraged two of his colleagues
to do the same. ```

I've taken the liberty of sketching out some personas so we have
somewhere to start from and build on:

``` ## Tony Johnson, Student, aged 21

Tony is a second year student at university who is studying
international business. Tony has recently heard about Tor
through recent mentions in the national news and would like to
discover more about it Particularly he has heard from a friend
that it could be used to protect his web browsing whilst using
the university campus public wifi.

## Angela Thomas, Journalist, aged 39

Angela is a journalist who has been writing about online privacy
for the past year and would like to write a feature about Tor.
Although she has previously experimented with Tor's browser
bundle she would like further information of how the Tor
infrastructure functions and the technical details behind how it
enables online anonymity.

## Stephanie Davis, Security Researcher, aged 28

Stephanie is a security researcher working for a think tank. She
has been a user of Tor since December 2011 and is a strong
proponent for an open web. Since finding out about Tor, Stephanie
has become involved in the Tor community contributing fixes and
features to the Tor code base and engaging with other Tor
contributers using the mailing lists and IRC.

## Amrit Ghuna, Doctor, aged 58

Amrit is a Doctor of Pharmacy who has been practicing for 19
years. Although he now lives in suburbia outside the city, before
he moved himself and his family to Sweden he suffered political
oppression at the hands of the government, eventually being
labeled a dissident. After seeing first hand the effects of a
restricted and monitored internet he was enthused to read about
Tor in the local newspaper and would very much like to make a
donation to the Tor Project. ```

I've also added it to the wiki:
Thoughts welcome and requested!

Rey
