Target Users for Krita

[Thomas Zander]

Thanks Casper for proposing a set of personas :)

For the ones that missed the discussion; I asked casper to do this as it 
was not possible for me to comment on a design because various people 
disagreed on the target user. Who we were designing for. And you can't 
make a good application without knowing who is going to use it.

Quick intro; [1]
 "Personas are fictitious users that represent the needs of a larger group 
of users regarding the goals and personal characteristics they have. They 
are used as a substitute for real users, helping to make decisions about 
the design of an application. Personas help you to keep the focus on real 
users and their goals instead of thinking only in terms of the fuzzy 
ghost of the "average user" (who doesn't really exist)."

I would like all krita developers to give their opinion and everyone to 
come to an agreement on these so we can base future decisions on these 
personas and avoid hand waving and personal opinions. :)

Note that personas can be reviewed and tweaked all the time (which may 
mean some gui changes) so don't feel like you need to finish it this 
month.
