Hi all,

Some months ago we started to define a statement of purpose for design at Wikimedia. We shared our initial iteration and got useful feedback. Based on that feedback, we have updated a new version: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Design/Statement_of_purpose

Please, feel free to check the updated version, and provide any suggestion in the talk page.

If the statement just sounds as a logical, simple, and obvious description for the purpose of design here, that was the goal. Putting this in writing has been helpful for designers and people working with us to get into the same page, and will be useful in the future to achieve the level of support for design we envision for those areas where we are not there yet.

Thanks to everyone that has contributed to the process.
