== Who is a non-technical person == | |||
* Never learned programming concepts | |||
* Didn't realize Wikipedia can be edited | |||
* Maybe used a web content management system, blog, Facebook | |||
== What do they want == | |||
# to solve their problem, usually a "one of those" web site with some special requirements | |||
# something that looks good - design is still paramount | |||
# to learn about the participatory web | |||
# to create reusable data? | |||
# to have more control over their own site | |||
# to work with someone they trust | |||
== What do I want == | |||
# promote digital literacy — filling out forms isn't it, stop treating computers as a typewriter | |||
## reusable data under fair terms of re-use | |||
# get people to consider issues of site design and how to organize information | |||
# help flatten organizations and their external relationships | |||
# promote transparency and co-development | |||
# grow my own skills based on relevant requirements | |||
== Types and motivations of participants== | |||
* '''Executive''' — "everyone else is doing it," inexpensive solution | |||
** ideally they will participate but getting them to can be difficult | |||
* '''Creative group''' or '''individual''' — may be inspired but needs constant guidance | |||
* ''Worker bee'' — tasked to use the wiki | |||
** may be less receptive to wiki ideals, make it straightforward | |||
