Hi Alan,

I've taken the liberty to post the request to
http://www.accessifyforum.com/viewtopic.php?t=16362 it is a site that has
helped me get my 'AAA' / Level 3 accessibility compliance. They're a pretty
demanding crowd, so do not expect them to "pull their punches".

Regards,

Phill.

Persona Questionnaire

[Alan Bell]

One of the projects kicked off by the accessibility team at the Ubuntu
Developer Summit was to create a set of personas or fictional characters
with accessibility needs. The design team have a set of personas
already, each with different skills and life experiences and it is these
people they think about when designing the user interface. One of their
personas (Lola, a 29 year old PhD student living in Paris) is partially
sighted and uses assistive technology. This is a great start, but we
want to provide the design team and all those working on Ubuntu with
some more detailed personas with an assortment of needs. The aim is to
educate and motivate all those working on Ubuntu, accessibility isn't
just a technical feature, it is about people and if some part of the
system isn't available for everyone then it is broken.
In order to write a series of fictional, but believable characters we
have put together a survey asking people to tell us about themselves and
the issues they find when interacting with computers. We collaborated on
the questions that should be asked here http://pad.ubuntu-uk.org/Access
and now we have taken the results of that work and built an online form
http://access.libertus.co.uk  and an
alternative text version 
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Accessibility/Personas/Survey which can be
emailed to  ubuntu.accessibility.sur...@gmail.com

Please take a few minutes to fill out the survey and pass it on to
friends and relatives who may be able to provide interesting and useful
answers.

When the results are in (by August 8th or thereabouts) we will start the
process of writing up the personas using the survey answers as
inspiration.This will generate our realistic, but fictional, characters
who will help make Ubuntu better for everyone.

Thanks to all those who helped get the survey this far.

Alan
