Proposed Group: Design System Documentation Community Group

The Design System Documentation Community Group has been proposed by PJ Onori:

The management of design systems —standards, reusable components, and documentation that guide the development of digital products— is too often burdensome because institutional knowledge is fragmented and locked into proprietary formats. This hurts design system teams, the people who use design systems, and even the people who make tools for design systems. These problems have existed for well over a decade. They’re only becoming more important with agent-driven workflows.

The mission of this group is to lower the burden of design system management by developing an open format for structuring design system documentation. Important facets of openness include: compatibility with established standards like DTCG and CEM, portability, and providing value to both humans and agents.

This group will develop Specifications.

You are invited to support the creation of this group. Once the group has a total of 5 supporters, it will be launched and people can join to begin work. In order to support the group, you will need a W3C account.

Once launched, the group will no longer be listed as “proposed”; it will be in the list of current groups.

If you believe that there is an issue with this group that requires the attention of the W3C staff, please send us email on site-comments@w3.org

Thank you,
W3C Community Development Team
