We\u2019ll share it and request feedback with a small set of invited experts and design tool vendors at first, and open it up to the wider community shortly after. Watch this space!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Glossary<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>As design systems folks are fond of saying: \u201cNaming is hard\u201d! What, exactly, <em>is<\/em> a \u201cdesign token\u201d? Is an \u201calias\u201d the same thing as a \u201creference\u201d? What do we mean by the \u201ctype\u201d of a token? To answer these questions and more, the DTCG has begun writing a glossary of terms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The initial motivation was for the core team to agree upon and document some of the terminology that will be used in the specification, but we realized this will be a useful resource for the wider community too. Therefore, we are planning to publish our glossary on the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.designtokens.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">designtokens.org<\/a> website once it\u2019s ready.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Vendor roundtable meeting<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Finally, the DTCG is organizing a meeting with representatives from design tool makers around mid March. This will be an opportunity for us all to get to know each other, clarify key use-cases and hopefully get some of the vendors to contribute to our format specification.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Look out for news from that meeting in our future updates!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hello, world!
