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)
I'd add the following categories.
Whistleblower - they may only use tor once. User - they use tor for safety or simply to get around censorship. When i use tor on Amtrak i fall into this category.
Under User there might be Stalking victim.
I think it is a mistake to try to factor out cultures or groups in descriptions because that makes us less likely to think about languages and cultural constraints a person might need to work around.
I do feel that accessibility to sight impared people is also another very important category.

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)

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?

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 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 On 09.01.2014 12:06, Rey Dhuny wrote: 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. ``` Rey On Thursday, 9 January 2014 at 10:36, Rey Dhuny wrote: 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: https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/wiki/Website#ProposedPersonas Thoughts welcome and requested!
