I wrote a big write up of all the different audiences I saw and their 
different needs. From my POV, users vs community contributors and 
developers have very different needs. Would you mind looking over that 
post and providing some feedback? I'm looking forward to having a 
productive convo about it.

I would provide a link to it in the archives but it doesn't seem to have 
made it there. It's the really long one I sent again to the list this 
morning.
