Unit-type Icons: Can we/ should we add to Paragon?

@Chelsea Rathbun

Looking for initial input on adding new unit-type icons to the Paragon library (I don’t believe other unit-type icons currently exist in Paragon)https://www.figma.com/file/RCy53uUGxCyFG9wV7BfpXj/Open_edX_side_nav?type=design&node-id=65%3A10621&mode=design&t=KK7IlsVuiWjIFWed-1 (See second frame, labeled sidenav, tier 2)

Action items:
* Get a link with all the icons so we know what needs to be added
* Add new “LMS Icons” page similar to https://paragon-openedx.netlify.app/foundations/icons/ - add these icons there
* Follow up: Update to use a data table with filters and include other icon categories such as and the new LMS Icons page
* Note for usage: screen reader text should be complete-name as opposed to name-complete

Confluence cleanup

@Gabriel Weinberg

Can we consolidate past years of PWG meeting notes into yearly folders? The list of meeting notes is 4 years long now

[Brian S] I will look into getting Gabe the access to put stuff into folders, if I can’t figure that out I’ll just do it

Design tokens questions/discussions

@Adam Stankiewicz

@Kaleb Davenport

Oscar Chavarria

and others

TBD (I believe 2U Storefront team may be attending with questions related to design tokens?)

• Paragon CLI bug:

• [For Axim]: What’s the current thinking / timeline wrt alpha → master?

  • High-level plan:

    • Get to point where we can merge alpha → master

    • Frontend-platform/frontend-build PRs

      • Changes should be additive-only (no breaking change / alpha needed).

    •  

    • Update an MFE as POC (e.g., the PR that exists in frontend-app-profile?).

  • Need to sync master → alpha first.

    • Out of sync since late December 2023.

  • Timeline: In 2 Open edX named releases.

• Q: Where do you store the tokens?

  • brand package

• Q: why Paragon for 2U Storefront?

  • A11y fixes/support not available in other design systems.

  • Intentional for LMS, but can apply generally.

  • Consistent look-and-feel / usability from edx.org → Open edX UIs.

    • Consistency across the full ecosystem == trust.
