Developer resources & collaboration on Wikimedia User Interface Style Guide Presenting the Wikimedia User Interface Style Guide targeted on developers needs. The style guide is including all its resources and is hosted on GitHub as a test case for design collaboration. In the ideation of the new style guide, it was emphasized for it to be a successful resource, it has to address both, designers and developers needs. So far a big part of the overarching and visual style principles alongside one development 'base' layer - WikimediaUI Base variables, already being used in OOUI and Marvin as building block - has been accomplished. Within the next couple of weeks, there will also be a 'Components' and 'Resources' section where developers are presented design principles 'in action', combined with demos hot-linking. The presentation would be on principles behind and application of the components: Ideation and design This is for everyone, internationalization/language Open to collaboration Design consistency Trustworthy yet joyful Usability and UX best practices and underlying user research, Responsive design and mobile first principles and Accessibility measurements There are clearly topics overlapping with the questions posed on the thematic overview like maintaining and growing technical community, role of open source, scaling, tools for embracing mobility. At the end of the presentation there is an open questions/feedback slot planned getting ideas on how to extend/improve the style guide even more. |
