Now that we have done a good amount of research, we can begin designing. Further research on technologies and theories that could aid in our project will be posted at a later date.
For use during our designs, we have created a number of personas. These personas are varied, representing the variety of possible users Hive could attract. These persona will be used in a number of scenarios which they could possibly be a part of when using Hive. These scenarios will be featured in the next post.
