What kind of people will visit the website? Describe typical, imaginary people best representing current and future members. At least 5.

image I've updated the google docs with 5 personas I think will most likely visit the website. However, I believe the age brackets may be inaccurate but they're based on educated guesses, most being young due to discord's age distribution. They are arranged into status, personality (couldn't really think of much for that), typical age bracket and description which may contain suggestions on what may attract these personas the most to the website. I'll also paste the personas here for quicker viewing (you can edit it on the google doc):

Persona 1 - Status: Student / Junior developer Personality: Passionate Typical age bracket: 16 - 30 Description: They are willing to learn C# (or more about it) or they are interested in .NET languages which may find code reviews, lessons and mentors particularly interesting as it will further their knowledge of C#. They are passionate or display interest as they had sought out a C# community website. Architecture or clean code lessons may be particularly useful for this persona.

Persona 2 - Status: Software developer Personality: Passionate Typical age bracket: 20 - 30 Description: These are people who are likely willing to learn as well as getting involved in projects or some of them helping others (potential mentor). Some of these developers may dispute with other developers on certain topics they may not agree on.

Persona 3 - Status: Senior Software developer Personality: Passionate Typical age bracket: 26 - 40 Description: These people are likely to be part of the most skilled programmers in the C# Inn discord. They may be attracted to mentor students or junior developers or may wish to discuss with other developers certain topics. It’s ideal to attract these types of people to mentoring students.

Persona 4 - Status: Hobbyist Personality: Carefree, perhaps passionate Typical age bracket: 20-45 Description: These types of people don’t take software development as professionally or seriously as other people but may wish to learn C#, take part in projects, or ask questions here and there.

Persona 5 - Status: Gamer interested in game development Personality: Passionate Typical age bracket: 16 - 25 Description: Young gamer wanting to learn game development, presumably through Unity if they’re learning C#. They may also be interested in software development too.

It would be nice one more person to review it, so we can wrap this issue up.

I think the actors represent our community. They are basically a bunch of stereotypes which can be applied to our community. That should be the users our community focuses on. As they could be described more detailed, I think what there is, is good enough.

Persona 7- Name: Fred the Freshman Status: New to programming with no prior relation to it Personality: passionate Age: 18 Description: Fred has always dreamed about learning to program. But he was always intimidated by the unknown. He had no people who could help him but now he found us. Fred asks many questions and doesn’t get things right away, but he keeps on trying, learning and growing.
