UX standardization/Stories

We know the importance of design consistency and we want to introduce user interface consistency within our projects. To be successful in an undertaking like this, we need to understand the process, and needs of Wikimedia contributors. Specifically, when they are improving wiki pages, or building user-facing tools like Gadgets, that relate to the Wikimedia projects.

Tell us what matters to you in an effective user interface design, what could be better? Please share with us your story as a contributor. Here are some example questions you can answer (feel free to tell us more):

How would your story help us?
 * A better idea on where to direct our resources to build a UI toolkit that you can and will use.
 * Informing how we build a toolkit that fits into your process.
 * Understanding what you care about and making sure we address it.
 * Getting to know how we can work together to bring some consistency with realistic methods around Wikimedia projects.

First, give us some context about you
 * Are you a front or back-end engineer? Or neither?
 * What do you care about most when contributing to Wikimedia projects?
 * What is your typical area of contribution in Wikimedia projects?
 * What do you use when improving Wikimedia projects’ pages with better UI components (buttons, menus, etc)?
 * Or if you make gadgets / tools that relate to Wikimedia projects, what do you use for UI components?

Here are some example questions to get started with:
 * How do you go about looking for a UI component? For example, if you need a button, where do you look for it?
 * Have you heard of OOJS UI, what do you think this it's used for?

If you are more of a technical contributor: 
 * What’s a framework you most use (Common frameworks include Bootstrap, JQuery UI, Flat UI, etc.)?
 * Do you read documentation, when do you read documentation?
 * What’s an example of a good framework documentation, what did you appreciate about it and what would you want to know more or less of?
 * What’s an example of a poorly documented documentation, what did you not appreciate about it and what would you want to know more or less of?
