sorry for the OT stuff here... this is just re: personas.

[1] Not really sure if that's the intended audience – but to me it seems
so, as "power users" would probably rather alter behaviour by installing
extensions than doing fancy things with their toolbar background. I
realise, I could be totally wrong here, though.
I also think that power users won't give a damn about that persona
thingy and that the others won't even know it exists and if they do,
won't use it either.
Since the idea has been introduced, I stood silent because, well, this
is a thing of these days and I first fell rather ol'timer.
Still, my questions are these: do we *need* that functionality? What
does it brings WRT software use? Wouldn't the devs be better employed
fixing bugs rather than developing one more (useless?) functionality
which would in turn bring more bugs? *Who* would use the personas apart
from marketers?
BTW, I don't know anyone around me using Firefox and personas.
I don't want to rain on the party but my POV is that TDF shouldn't go
that route at this moment because the usage/cost ratio seems very low to
me.
Strange, where I teach, and where personas are available, my 240 kids in
French classes ALL tailor their versions of FF and Chrome to what they
want, they also exchange between each other information about the looks
and feel of their software including their desktop looks and wallpapers.
I agree with you that with professional people personas may take a back
seat to functionality, but to the other larger group who use our
software and the younger set, functionality includes the look and feel
of their software as if defines them ... no matter how shallow a
function you may think it is.
A Lada may get us from point A to B ... but most people would prefer to
get a hot looking car than a square box with 4 wheels to cart them around.
Software functionality does include the look and feel otherwise we would
not be adding any color to our brand and just go for black and white and
save on toner cartridge cost ... and hey ... let's all just get B/W
monitors.
I don't know, but I also don't want to rain on your party either, by my
POV is that the TDF should go this route as it adds to the popularity as
well as gives us a larger usage base for our community product.
This is a good functionality to add to the product.
Cheers,
Marc
