What we are converging on

 * mediawiki.ui for CSS styles, and MediaWiki-specific widgets
 * A living style guide to document styles in use

To Do

 * Convert Mediawiki.ui to LESS
 * Implement Agora CSS in
 * Make mediawiki.ui a flavor/theme of Ooui
 * Use Agora CSS in core and extensions make a table of them?? or use a tracking bug with flags
 * by applying  CSS styles
 * does this for many buttons in core
 * by rewriting them to use Ooui toolkit
 * Use Agora CSS in mobile
 * Use Agora CSS in VE by using mediawiki.ui flavor/theme
 * Identify existing and required Control/UI elements
 * Develop live style guide:
 * auto-generate CSS examples (see https://github.com/kneath/kss) and Jon Robson CSS demo
 * show use of client-side Ooui JavaScript
 * swap CSS (see http://pauginer.github.io/agora/ )
 * server-side form examples (in Special:Agora page in https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/93525)
 * Add useful descriptions to the class comments for each Widget class in OO.ui - i.e. what sort of UI element does this build?

OOUI to dos
