The results of the survey are now in, we had a fantastic response and we have 26 really great detailed replies. The next step is to group these roughly by impairment then use the replies as an inspiration to write up descriptions of realistic but fictional characters that can be used by developers and user experience designers to ensure that Ubuntu is built for these characters.
For a bit of background on design personas in general and how they are used here is a description of how IBM use them http://www-01.ibm.com/software/ucd/gallery/software.html Canonical have a set of personas already, one of them has a visual impairment, we want to build a small set of personas with a range of accessibility needs and write them up to the same standard of quality as the existing Canonical documents so they can be fed into the design team. If you would like to help in the process of getting from survey responses to personas then please email myself or Penelope Stowe and we will send you a copy of the spreadsheet with all the responses and just names and email addresses removed. We decided at the meeting last night that we would share the spreadsheet with anyone on the list who asks for it, but we won't publish it on the internet or post it to the list in it's raw form.
