Background

The Front End Working Group consists of Alasdair Swan (Deactivated), Andy Armstrong (Deactivated), btalbotR (Deactivated) and Dennis Jen (Deactivated). This group has been collaborating primarily on the development of the UX Pattern Library, and then subsequently developed the notion of the UITK. 

Starting in mid-January 2016, a dedicated project team is being formed to speed the development and integration of these front end technologies. The full-time members are Andy Armstrong (Deactivated) and btalbotR (Deactivated), and then others will be contributing as their availability dictates (including Dennis Jen (Deactivated), dfriedmanR (Deactivated) and Toby Lawrence (Deactivated)). See this wiki page for details: Initial rollout plan for the UI Toolkit and Pattern Library.
