The way I saw it was that the 'personas' thing would basically just be a way of uniting names so you could post to any of them, and so they would basically appear in your "Work as user" dropdowns. As I see it, you'd be able to customise any of these anyway, even if it was a persona.

Right, and I think personas would be pretty useless if they didn't offer the ability to customise at least that. ;) See above. I could be wrong in any of this - could someone let me know? - Kira. _______________________________________________ dw-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.dwscoalition.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dw-discuss
