Getting Started for UX/UI Designers


          

FOLIO designers can engage with the project through a variety of communication channels:

  • The FOLIO software development site is available at dev.folio.org
  • FOLIO uses discuss.folio.org for asynchronous messaging. The Discuss site is a web forum with categories, topics, and posts. Use Discuss for asking questions and recording discussions that require more than a few sentences. 
  • FOLIO uses wiki.folio.org to store documents with some permanence. FOLIO Special Interest Groups (SIGs), which are dedicated to specific functional areas or interests within FOLIO, have a space on the wiki. Join the SIG meeting that is appropriate to the area where you are working.
  • Sign up for SIG mailing lists so you get all the emails sent to the group(s): https://ole-lists.openlibraryfoundation.org/ 

  • FOLIO Slack channels for real-time chat are available at folio-project.slack.com. Use Slack for quick introduction or follow-up to new ideas and fun banter between colleagues. Suggested channels:  #general, #design-system, #stripes, #support
  • FOLIO Stripes Components for building blocks of the FOLIO UI
    https://folio-org.github.io/stripes-components/?path=/docs/guides-about-stripes-components--docs
  • View long-term UX prototypes (not intended for version 1 functionality)
