Content is aimed primarily at application developers. Three main developer personas have been initially identified for developer.meego.com: 1) experienced developers familiar with the MeeGo environment, 2) experienced developers new to the MeeGo environment, and 3) new developers who have not yet committed to a platform ecosystem. As user personas represent the goals and behaviors of a similar group of website visitors, dividing the target audience into these personas is helpful for planning, identifying and creating content that will help each persona achieve their goals when visiting the site. Defining user personas also helps to ensure a website structure that facilitates a smooth journey toward the needed information.
Though many of the goals and needs of the three personas overlap, the content needs vary depending on a persona's development experience and familiarity with the MeeGo environment. In addition to the individual persona goals, there are also goals that the MeeGo community may hope are achieved when a developer visits the site. The three developer personas and their goals are described below.
