• [inform] @edx/paragon-working-group Github team was created, with the initial members as Ben W., David J., George B., and myself.

  • This Github team will be marked as the code owners of Paragon (and automatically request reviews when PRs are opened), and will require review/approval from at least one member of this team before merge.

• I’d like to add Gabe and Marco to the Github team as well; same for at least the lead of RacoonGang in support of the blended development efforts.

• Will update governance docs (including notes on how to escalate should PR reviews take longer than expected) and share decision around code owners later this week.

  • [discuss] What is a reasonable amount of time to get something reviewed? Within 24 hours? Within 48 hours?

• [inform] Started to document the discrepancies between the Figma spec and what’s currently implemented in Paragon

  • https://docs.google.com/document/d/11QO02ltQVetxPTqBK6hFWIXQZOsaDQ_e_qC4rbC-Rvk/edit?usp=sharing

  • I plan to get this more fleshed out and ensure tickets are filed for the discrepancies this week, and how this will play into the Blended Development backlog.

• [discuss] Jira workflow and “source of truth” of component status

• Jira process established by Adam Butterworth:

  • Epic per component; its ticket status remains in “To Do” to leave it open for future modifications.

  • Implementation stories filed as children of the epic.

  • “Design System Status” field is updated accordingly.

• https://openedx.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/BPL/pages/3019571586/Status+of+Components?search_id=0db1f07f-b49c-4518-a156-6e4fca996dc0 is an automatically generated list of components and their associated statuses based on Jira epics, their “Design System Status”, and labels (e.g., “ready-for-eng”).

• [discuss] Can we explicitly document our Jira workflow?

• [clarification] Why is Card.Status it’s own distinct thing when it’s essentially an Alert used within the card contents?

  • https://www.figma.com/file/eGmDp94FlqEr4iSqy1Uc1K/Paragon-Design-System?node-id=10273%3A37179

• Does Alert need an additional variant for Primary/500 background?

• [clarification] What is the difference between Menu and Dropdown components from a design POV?

  • I’m slightly concerned that we have 2 components that are doing nearly the same thing without much guidance around when to use which and why.
