I've been working behind the scenes and have a rough draft of a first 
persona for the proposed usability testing suite project.

I wanted to pause before moving ahead with the other 3 personas to make 
sure this is capturing the right data, and that they'll be useful for 
the team involved to understand who uses the software and in what way.

I've uploaded Henri the Dabbler - take a look.

I'd love to hear feedback, more so on if this is capturing the right 
level of detail than if he should be married or not (as an example).  
I'll be putting together a summary of the data I collected so everyone 
can see where I grabbed the demographic information from.  Until then 
please trust me that the demographic data is a summary of the input I 
received, and is not based on any particular person.

This has been a quiet project, particularly since the hackfest and 
Mairin's Design Hub idea.  I'd like to continue to work on this project 
though, so send me your feedback, ideas and complaints about Henri or 
any of the other proposed personas.

Thanks,

Kirk
