Persona Quotes for 2.1 Understanding Documents
This purpose of this page is to get agreement on Persona Quotes for 2.1 Understanding Documents.
Purpose, Parameters, Format, Examples
Purpose of persona quotes:
- Help readers quickly understand the main point of the SC (since the SC text is necessarily not clear in many cases).
- Humanize the issue.
- Provide a user's point of view.
- Briefly describe the main point(s) — but not try to cover all cases.
Parameters:
- Keep it short; however, include enough to make it clear and compelling. Try for about 150 characters — ok to go over if needed. No more than 280.
- Limit things like “frustrating”, “annoying” to only where it’s not obvious. (like reflow, not like cause seizures)
- Usually one "problem" and one "works well". Can include more if important to cover additional points.
- Include link to person/people in https://www.w3.org/WAI/intro/people-use-web/stories when a relevant one exists.
- Where there is not a good match persona:
- Inform EOWG
- Use "Person with [disability]" — do not include a name so that EOWG can do it thoughtfully.
- Where there is not a good match persona:
(Format and Examples have changed...)
