Worked on the first action item: Familiarize with targeted persona in #90, User Persona in Mini Presentation and wiki page of prior research
However, I had a difficult time identifying who the "data enthusiasts" are (which is my target user) based on the existing documents. Here are the problems I encountered:
Different names for the same persona?
Overlapping categories/Uncertain definitions
Missing persona (Data Expert)
Based on these problems, the next steps are:
Deliverable I made a presentation about this problem here: Redefining Personas
Hi Steffie, Great to join this team. After looking over the existing slides, it looks like Data Enthusiasts are the community activists and prospective users who are interested in learning about/using data, may or may not be to the point of becoming Data Amateurs themselves. So we need to find out who they are and what they want to do. Maybe also need to find out why some community activists are not data enthusiasts - not interested in learning about/using data.
@LouismChan Thank you for your comment! I agree that it's important to find out why someone would not want to do it as well as why someone would want to do it.
Met with @LouismChan to go over where the current project is going and what this is about.
Met with @kimberly-tellez, @joyceeyang , @jjaylo, @Aparna1Gopal and @LouismChan and decided that the current issue will focus more on surveying the "data experience/expert" part while @kimberly-tellez's project focuses more on investigating the "interest in community activism."
Based on the discussion, I updated the slide 4 in Redefining Personas:
Here is an updated image of the categorization of personas:
Awesome diagram. Maybe also use it to think dynamically: Data Enthusiasts are people who want to move up (to the northeast quadrant?) by learning more about data?
@steffiekim agree with Louis, the chart is great. The only thing that I would like to point out is that becoming data literate has a bit more nuisance in our context. Becoming data literate includes:
I think that your chart is a great overview and still covers this but wanted you to keep those nuisances in the back of your mind if that affects the direction of your work.
Seems that a Data Expert/Amateur (Sr. Director, Research & Data Analysis at Advancement Project (CA)) doesn't know much about 311 Data: see @Joyce Yang’s interview here.
Below is just some background info on 311 data:

Created a research plan draft: Data Enthusiast Persona Research Plan (Survey)
@lrchang2 reviewed Data Enthusiast Persona Research Plan (Survey). I and @LouismChan edited the document based on the feedback. We replied to the comments and resolved the ones that are done. Comments history can be seen in the upper right corner of Google Docs for future references.
In the project breakout meeting, the persona team decided that I should perhaps focus more on finding data amateurs first and explore other groups within data enthusiasts later.
Created Data Enthusiast Persona Survey Questionnaire and started working on crafting questions
Completed the first draft of Data Enthusiast Persona Survey Questionnaire
Updated ATD Research Plans and Data Enthusiast on Wiki
Backlogged for now
Overview
We need to create a research plan for understanding data enthusiasts—people who are interested in learning about data but do not have the knowledge yet
