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 designs. 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.

Team
The User experience team has over 40 years of combined design, research, engineering, HCI, visual design, and usability experience.

Many of the projects created during Explore will hopefully turn into roadmap projects or Beta Features.

What we've created in Explore time:
 * Mobile Homepage
 * Mobile Citation Interface
 * Compact Personal Bar
 * Fixed Site Header
