  - What is a User Model?
    - User models (aka user personas) are "fictional characters created to represent the different user types within a targeted demographic, attitude and/or behavior set that might use a site, brand or product in a similar way." (see more: <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_persona)">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_persona)</a>
- NOTES & COMMENTS
  - I made these in Thimble so that we can use these as templates to iterate on.
    - wooo way to dogfood!
  - Also, these incorporate some badges that are being developed as we speak by the Hive crew.
- QUESTIONS
  - How can we use these User Models to develop the Webmaker experience?
  - Can we/should we focus on certain groups in Q1/Q2? (beginners first, or ?)
  - Is one of the goals of this is to categorize the user base? Details please.
