There’s a WordPress Component Library in Figma. Duplicate to edit, direct access is reserved for the design team.
At the moment, the style guides within the Design Guidelines are a little bare. Specifically, there are things we can add to improve the experience in interacting with these docs. A great example would be this online tool Material UI Colors, which copies the colour’s hex code to your clipboard when you click it.
In the latest Design Meeting, I suggested that it might be helpful to improve the WordPress style guide by building resources in a new open documentation site, one with features like instant copy/paste and code snippets where applicable. This site could showcase the content that already exists – specifically colours, typography, and iconography.
It would not necessarily designed to replace the existing make guidelines, but compliment it as an external resource. Similar to how the existing colour page links to an external codepen.
It would be particularly cool to have this available for people before WordCampWordCamp WordCamps are casual, locally-organized conferences covering everything related to WordPress. They're one of the places where the WordPress community comes together to teach one another what they’ve learned throughout the year and share the joy. Learn more. US so that everyone participating on Contributor DayContributor Day Contributor Days are standalone days, frequently held before or after WordCamps but they can also happen at any time. They are events where people get together to work on various areas of https://make.wordpress.org/ There are many teams that people can participate in, each with a different focus. https://2017.us.wordcamp.org/contributor-day/ https://make.wordpress.org/support/handbook/getting-started/getting-started-at-a-contributor-day/. could use it and potentially get onboarded faster.
The site would be open sourceOpen Source Open Source denotes software for which the original source code is made freely available and may be redistributed and modified. Open Source **must be** delivered via a licensing model, see GPL. from the beginning, with the code available on a GithubGitHub GitHub is a website that offers online implementation of git repositories that can easily be shared, copied and modified by other developers. Public repositories are free to host, private repositories require a paid subscription. GitHub introduced the concept of the ‘pull request’ where code changes done in branches by contributors can be reviewed and discussed before being merged be the repository owner. https://github.com/ repository. It would have automated workflows that’ll make it much easier to contribute to (and play around with). Anyone would be able to add issues and submit pull requests. I’ve built several doc sites and style guides in the past, so it’ll be something I can do relatively quickly.
If so, I can go ahead and create it and ask for some feedback next week. Perhaps around Oct 8th, a little bit before the next Design Meeting. If we like the end result, the site could expand to include content for identity, coreCore Core is the set of software required to run WordPress. The Core Development Team builds WordPress., templates, and other content from WP style guide.
