Some initial ideas:

What does success look like?

Current goals for FY22-23:

  • Increase community contributions to web products by 50% via design system contributions
  • 100% of new wiki projects with user interfaces are designed using the design system

  • Increase contributor satisfaction around the UI component building process by 25%
  • Increase contributor velocity of building UI components by 20%

I'll point out T279421: Update Vue and Codex documentation for WMF staff and community developers and especially T279421#7669308 here.

Thanks @ldelench_wmf ! Adding a note for our upcoming discussion: I would love to explore streams for community feedback on Codex components as a part of this task. Interested in striking a balance between the Discussion feature on MediaWiki that is designed for this purpose while also providing access to the real demos and interactivity on our Codex demo site. I've been experimenting with this on MediaWiki here: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Codex/Components

Thanks for filing, talk to you soon.
