Look at RecentChanges regularly. It used to be available as an RSS feed, but that seems to have dropped off with the recent upgrade. The problem with the personas effort was that they weren't what I'd call real personas. They were all about how the person uses GNOME, rather than being about the person. The idea of personas (of course, this is nothing new to Mr. Usability) is to characterise the people you'd like to see using your software - to get inside their skin, and do a full profile. You're not talking about a class of people, but abbout one person, who is a member of that class. "Geraldine always does her shopping on Friday, since she finishes work an hour earlier. She buys lots of fresh fruit and vegetables, but ends up throwing half of them away two weeks later because they've gone rotten. She doesn't like cooking, so ends up going to the freezer more often than to the veg." This is good. "Teenager, intensive email (personal), intensive IM (msn)" is not good profiling or persona.
