Design System Team/Current Status

From mediawiki.org

Goals

[edit]

Our goals for the current year are captured in our FY23-24 impact on WE3.1. The metrics being:

  1. 75% of WMF and WMDE teams building user interfaces have used Codex in a project at least once.
  2. When surveyed, 100% of designers and developers who have used Codex do not wish to go back to using legacy tools and ways of working.
