Making sure you go to the right place can help you get the design help you need.
Preparing
It’s a good idea to make sure you have a few things ready before getting help:
- Know what type of help you want: do you want a review or do you want someone to work on a design?
- Have the contacts of people already involved to loop them into the discussion.
- If something has a timeline, be sure to also mention that when getting any help.
- Have an idea of the type of designers you need help from. Do you need ones with interface knowledge? Experience designers or perhaps someone with an IA background?
Getting help
Where you go will depend on what type of help you are looking for:
- Reporting a bug or enhancement: Ideally anything to be worked on has a relevant trac ticket or GitHub issue:
- Reporting Gutenberg issue or enhancement:
- Visit: https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/issues/new/choose
- Select if a bug or new issue.
- Add labels of ‘needs design’ if needs design or ‘needs design feedback’, if is already a design.
- Reporting Gutenberg issue or enhancement:
- Quick feedback: If you just want casual feedback you can do this a few ways:
- Chat.wordpress.org #design.
- Add as a comment to the weekly meeting agenda.
- Project proposal: For larger, longer-term work, creating a ‘Scope post‘ is a great step.
- Discussion: If you would like to raise as a discussion topic please add to the weekly meeting agenda.
