Issue
"What is a target audience? Is it a concrete persona? Is it an abstract paragraph or two on a wiki?"
Background
For the past year there has have been wide ranging discussions on better defining the purpose and goals of the Fedora Project and the Fedora Distribution. Two aspects of these discussions have been been who the Fedora Project is for and who the Fedora Distribution is for. The term target audience has been used to characterize this identification.
Proposed Solutions
- Re-characterize the term Target Audience to User Base. This better reflects the board's decision around this topic in October 2009 which has often been overlooked in this disucussion:
- Our User Base or base user is a user that has the minimum level of skills, knowledge and interest as described at the User Base page.
- We want a default offering that meets the needs of these users at a minimum.
- Include a graphic to illustrate what this means
Risk/Benefit Analysis
- Not sure if this even applies to this topic.
