IANA "grid expert", but I think it would be a huge missed opportunity not to let this be used for content. It could be a great help with pages like Portals, which are currently reliant on loads of inline styles for layout, or worse, tables.

A grid system for content authors would be useful as well. There have been some discussions about better semantic markup for image widths and placement as part of the change to image thumbnail sizing which landed last week and was reverted yesterday.
This doesn't seem to be included in the current RfC (which seems to concentrate on features for skin authors) -- do the "grid experts" think that discussion of how this might be used in content would be on-topic for the discussion tonight?

Later today, at 2300 UTC, we'll be in #wikimedia-office discussing Pau Giner's grid system RfC. https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Requests_for_comment/Grid_system "to
simplify
the creation of user interfaces and make them ready for multiple screen sizes." Check out the new patchset https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/133683/
"It makes the log-in form responsive (adjusting layout, typography and visibility to the current screen size). It does not leverage all the potential of responsive design, but may be useful as a demo to help the reviewers."
This is at a time meant to make it easier for Australia and China to participate.

I'm sorry for the late announcement of this one; for the next several
weeks
I'll be haranguing authors to help me get discussions set up a few weeks
in
advance. :)
