Create personas relevant for the open science ecosystem

[Daniel-Mietchen]

Personas are stories that highlight key elements of user experience in a way that helps developers and designers create and improve such experiences — check out how Mozilla put it.

For our purposes, personas would be useful that concentrate on

• how users interact (or would like to) with existing tools in the open science landscape
• tools, services or interactions missing in the open science landscape
• scenarios where open workflows are lagging behind closed ones
• anything annoying that drives people (or machines) away from open science workflows

and similar issues.

For a start here are some persona ideas to mix:

academic in sciences versus humanities
fan of open versus skeptic to open
academic versus citizen hobby enthusiast
student versus established

Where should these personas be stored? In the repo? Is there a dedicated folder/file?

[Daniel-Mietchen]

@HeidiSeibold I just set up a folder for this at
https://github.com/OpenScienceRoadmap/mozilla-sprint-2018/tree/master/personas
and put in some dummy text based on the above suggestions by @bluerasberry .

Thanks to @nicipfeiffer , we now have some basic content to work from.
