Primary Audience Proposals
@kenvandine proposed at the GUADEC BoF that we cater to Third Party App Developers.
@bastianilso proposed newcomers and interns as important audiences too, but we have an onboarding experience in place for these already (the newcomer guide).
TODO
-
Are there other possible audiences we should to consider? -
Describe each audience so we agree what they mean. -
Define our main audience. -
