**Background:**
In addition to our goal of replacing WVUI with Codex in T300081 we are seeking additional opportunities to test Codex as a prototype in a low-risk production environment. This "alpha" release would allow us to collect and respond to user feedback and position Codex for success before a wider release. The goal is to obtain user feedback at a controlled scale, so there won't be a formal call-to-action for contributors outside of the the Design Systems Team and the partnering Alpha team.
**Release Goals**
1. Get Codex into production: Deploy Codex UI library to MediaWiki and NPM
2. Test Codex in a testing environment against a real project: Work with Abstract Wikipedia to implement existing Codex components into the UI for AW beta, collect and respond to feedback
New components will not be created for v1.0.0-alpha.1. Complete documentation is not a requirement at this time.
**Requirements:**
[x] Decide on a pilot project - confirmed Abstract Wikimedia beta
[x] Finalize strategy for Codex packaging and installation on MediaWiki and/or NPM
[ ] Complete QA/regression testing for Codex library on MediaWiki
[ ] Deploy Codex to MediaWiki and/or NPM (library only)
[ ] Complete engineering and design requirements gathering for Alpha project
[ ] Complete internationalization and RTL support (code only)
[ ] Establish way to collect user feedback from Abstract Wikipedia
[ ] Install Codex components on Alpha project and implement components
[ ] Solicit and respond to feedback from Abstract Wikipedia
