@sandraberjan just for clarification is the content meeting happening on Wednesdays or Thursdays? This issue says Thursday but on slack you mentioned Wed.

[3/2/2023] Meeting Summary

Notes:

Defined purpose of project: HfLA “Figma” Kit is a guide and resource to help you create or update a workable design file that saves time and effort.
Reflected on last meeting's insights
Namestorming session started with presenting what we know: Established uniformity, Save time/effort so things move faster, update or create file so its workable, templates to copy and paste in, clarity for new members
Discussed stakeholder criteria, but need clarification:

Questions to ask in the next meeting:

Who are we designing for? (New projects, existing projects, software engineers)
Before iterating solutions, what is the problem statement?
Does the existing kit solve that problem?
Are we working on two separate projects? (Kit + Component Library Template with code)

To do:

[x] Create a Project Scope Table with visuals
- [x] Timeline
- [x] People Involved
- [x] Roles
- [x] File Links
- [x] Problem
- [x] Purpose/Goal
- [x] Existing Research

We have been documenting meeting notes in Docs for the last few meetings. We will be migrating those here and documenting here instead.

sandraberjan commented 1 year ago

Met with @ryayyychel today. Her assignment for the next content meeting is to audit the terms used in the DS Starter Template and identify if 1. they are standard terms used by UX designers 2. they need definition 3. there are any alternate terms and 4. are there terms that are usually in a DS but missing here.

Rachel will make a GitHub issue and submit it for approval. I will add any comments and approve it.
