Codex/Steering Committee

The Codex Steering Committee is composed of a lead designer, an engineering manager, and a principal engineer with a constant degree of commitment dedicated to stewarding Codex, the Wikimedia design system. The committee reviews design system priorities and coordinate design and engineering resourcing. The Codex Steering Committee was formed as a successor to the Design System Team.

• Codex engineering or design - the principal engineer or lead designer on the Codex Steering Committee
• [Team] engineering or design - the WMF team determined to work on the initiative
• Volunteer engineering or design - any WMF or volunteer developer or designer who is willing to work on the initiative
