This User Experience personas are meant to help developers
identify the target audience for their work.
This is the first pass for the content.
The intent is to provide the general information for all five personas
in a consistent manner.

Additional content such as infographics, comparison tables, etc., will
be part of subsequent additions.

Follow UI text capitalization guidelines

Interface element labels use a combination of headline-style capitalization and sentence-style capitalization. It is important to apply these capitalization guidelines consistently to make the UI clear and succinct.

Headline-style capitalization capitalizes every word in the text, except:

Articles, except as the first word (a, an, the)
Coordinating conjunctions (and, or)
Prepositions, except the first or last word
Infinitives (to, in, an)

Examples of headline-style capitalization: Restore Defaults, Allocate to Project

Sentence-style capitalization only capitalizes the first word in the text. Unless the word is a proper noun that must be capitalized.

Example of sentence-style capitalization: Maximum number of downloads
