Discussion
- Adding a Figma access request rule to our handbook
- Background: Since we want to give access to everyone that needs access but some people only need View permissions while others need Edit. The Editors count towards our limit, while viewers don’t. Suggestion for the default permission should be ‘View’ and permit ‘Edit’ only when requested.
- View Access will allow copy/paste permission only.
- This will also be added as a rule in the Design Handbook.
Finally WC EU Contributor Day:
- @karmatosed will run a triage for Gutenberg or Core
- @michael-arestad will run a live jam with contributors on WCEU contributor day if there is interest and depending on the time
