Hi guys,
We've been working this morning trying to apply the Language Applications
personas to our language applications, you can see our conclusions here:
https://notes.kde.org/p/kde-edu-sprint

Some of these should probably become bugs reports and some should drive us
to bigger changes. Please take a look at these and tell us what you think!

Cheers!
Aleix
