Please file
bugs against them here [1]
* Places where buttons are constructive when they should be
destructive / progress
* Take screenshots of interfaces that look cluttered/cramped.
* Identify pages which do not use MediaWiki UI styles at all
3) Let's fix the bugs
4) When this is all done, we will need to engage the
community/communicate this change. We might need to run a beta
feature. I'm hoping Jared or Steven can oversee this. Alternatively we
might just want to turn it on if we do not consider it a massive
change.
Is there a good forum for us to engage and recommend how community
members can get involved with at Step #1 ? That feels like it would
give us the sense of scale and community participation from the
beginning.

Very interesting read and I've been watching a good chunk of the videos
from
https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCFdA1LIvjYDLrqeHiZphNWA
Jared, where is our style guide at this point? I last checked in on it
around Wikimania.
Also, have you had a chance to watch
Ian Feather: Reducing Complexity With a Component API ?

Thanks, Jon, for continuing to keep the pressure on.
The appearance/size change for e.g. checkboxes is very noticeable, and
right now it's inconsistent with other controls that are nearby, like
radiobuttons and dropdowns. The first thing is to actually finish the
style
guide and consistently apply it.
http://tools.wmflabs.org/styleguide/desktop/index.html is very incomplete
right now, when can we expect an updated version, or is there another one
I
should be looking at?
Thanks,
Erik
