The release of Codex Beta signals the first launch of a Codex component in production on MediaWiki. The Design Systems Team is partnering with Readers Web to launch Codex in a live project. The goals for this launch are to validate Codex's viability in production and bring on a strong team of staff supporters to the project.
Following this task, incremental releases will be made to Codex Beta. Please reach out to us if you are interested in working with Codex!
