starting with Celeste's prelim findings we discussed our user focus yesterday. it was a spirited and useful conversation with everyone participating and offering their viewpoints.
while we do have a huge audience, given that we're working on tools for entry point user interfaces, we do have a focus on the more adventurous and often more experienced though we are moving more towards a more moderate user profile.
taking technical, reality (e.g. who our user base is right now and will be in the next 2-3 years) and communication issues into consideration we have a much clearer idea of who our user focus is. we'll continue to work on this to produce a full user profile report that we can use as a center point in this ongoing conversation with ourselves.
Andreas "GraphicsView" Hanssen from Trolltech joined us late last night and is giving today's morning presentation on QGraphicsView in Qt 4.4. the sound of keyboards ticking and machines compiling fills the spaces between his words =)

i always thought customisers would b a good bunch of users to target -- look at the eee pc, or the many distros out there. they know what the ultimate end users want more than anyone else.
suppose that's what plasma and all the other kde frameworks are all about anyways -- making kde easy to mould.
I am a dreamer, but I wish I could just popup a live CD like Kubuntu. Install it onto my harddrive or a vmware image and start developing plasma applications in ruby right away.
