Personas

To provide grounded examples when evaluating interface design options, we have identified "personas" or categories that Dryad users may fall into. In many cases the personas are abstract, but in some cases, we have attached a real name to help identify the type of person who may play a particular role. (Disclaimer: We're not necessarily designing for these particular people, just using them to help identify the relevant group of users.)
