Design

Purpose
The Wikimedia Foundation User Experience Design group is responsible for the look and feel of projects, from a functional level to a final pixel level released design. The UX group works closely with existing Wikipedians as well as new users to socialize our designs and plans, and works with the Product Management group to establish product roadmaps.
