TWiki.org Renewal Works: To Do

Work items derived from the site structure in WebPageAudienceSiteStructure. This topic intends to list the main (landing) pages and the things we can do on those pages.

Introduction

We have defined a set of personas as summarized goals and user representatives. This is our target audience. Any content we create must be targeted to these personas:

• Irma Andersen, The Industry Analyst
• Eric Cedrof, Economic Buyer
• Don Itak, Infrastructure Buyer
• Ellen Uster, End User
• Lasse Poven, Potential contributor
• Johan Curbain, Current contributor
• Turan Chamer, The wiki champion

We must not create content that is not wanted. But when focussing on one page we also must not forget to add content that one of the (other) personas might be interested in.

Each page can have different sections for each persona. One page can even have multiple voices!

Status

Creating content is hard work! We are at the early stages, so everything is open for ideas.

Append your name to any actionable item you think you can contribute to!

Site sections

Below are level 1 and 2 pages. Deeper pages may be added. We will do the homepage last...
