I think if we're going to going to focus on one or the other, we should 
focus on user personas, because the community definitely needs them for 
the UX effort, as well as for docs.  I'm not saying that marketing and 
biz dev aren't important -- frankly, those are the ones that will be 
most useful to me in my day job :) -- but I think we need community 
buy-in for the overall effort, and for that we need to show that the 
personas themselves are directly useful.
