UX standardization/Stories

We know the importance of design consistency and we want to introduce some user interface consistency within our projects. But to be able to be successful in such a huge undertaking like that, we need to understand the process and needs of a Wikimedia contributor when improving wiki pages or building user-facing tools/gadgets/etc that relate to the Wikimedia projects.

Tell us what matters to you in an effective user interface design, what could be better? Please share us your story as a contributor. Here are some example questions you can answer to (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 them
 * And generally 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?
