Calling all UX Designers!
summary
Project makes five concrete changes: add a welcome page for UX with motivations and links (Elementary OS and Home Assistant are cited as examples), adopt searchable tags like #design #usertest #wireframe on issues, keep a core decisions document that logs UX choices and links from onboarding, publish a design discussions guide (tiny.cc/uxdiscussion) that frames target users and desired feedback, and recruit a UXer onto the core team. Use the camel model—caves, maps, legos—and start UX early to avoid last‑minute rewrites.
