Description

Current state 2022-10-27

Merged as duplicate into T313905 & removed still-relevant subtasks for future prioritization.

Background/Goal

Ongoing requests and collaborations with other teams have surfaced several unfulfilled needs related to communication, transparency, expectations, and strategic alignment of Design Systems Team (DST) priorities and collaboration norms:

Release communications, especially with regard to "breaking changes"
Value proposition of using Codex & working with the Design Systems team
What partner teams can expect from the Design Systems team in terms of collaboration & engagement
Roadmap clarity on Codex component development & what it means for OOUI, WVUI, and WiKit.

User stories

- As a contributor, given that I am on a WMF team that has implemented Codex, I want to access and understand information about upcoming Codex releases/updates so that I can better plan for breaking changes and where to go for support.
As a contributor, given that I have heard of Codex, I want to understand why I should use it as my component library for front-end development (i.e., what's in it for me?), what risks might be involved, and how to partner with the Design Systems team on implementing Codex.
As a Design Systems team member, given that another team at WMF wants to collaborate with me on implementing Codex, I want to provide clearer expectations on the different levels of support we can provide, and what decision-making looks like.
As a contributor or WMF stakeholder, I want to access and understand 1) what Codex components are in progress, and 2) what Codex components will be developed next, so that I can make more informed UI/front-end decisions about my projects.

Considerations

This epic is time-boxed to one quarter, July - September 2022. Our efforts should be scoped to fit within that timeframe (knowing that we will continue to iterate).

egardner added a subtask: T75714: Update JavaScript syntax checker for gadgets and user-scripts for ES6 and later.Jul 22 2022, 5:31 PM

I've added T75714 as a sub-task here. There are definitely folks in the gadget and user-script developer community who are interested in using modern JS (ES6), Vue, and Codex in their projects.

DST should help enable this and include these developers in the guidelines/communications that go out about who can use what where.
