Line 117: − In phase II, our team has grown and broken into smaller task-based teams. Developers are working on developing our components in HTML and CSS. Designers are reviewing the user interface and making changes as necessary. Writers are putting together editorial guidelines to add to the system, and graphic designers are starting to determine templates and layout designs that we can add to the system. + − In late May we also conducted a card-sorting activity to determine the information architecture for the design system website. We are creating wireframes based on these results and making a front-end site that will be easily navigable for developers, designers, writers and collaborators. Development on the site has started and it will be populated with our documentation and design files shortly! + + + Line 229:

Now in Phase II, the design team has split into smaller working teams, including developers, writers, designers, and UX researchers. We are conducting usability testing on some of our elements, developing style sheets and HTML components, and creating wire-frames to build the first iteration of the design system website.
The first iteration of the design system is in review. We are making small changes to components, ensuring consistency in our UI kit, and editing documentation. Take a look at our Github for some of our [https://github.com/gctools-outilsgc/design-system/tree/master/ux%20testing research reports] and [https://github.com/gctools-outilsgc/design-system/tree/master/page%20prototypes example prototypes]!
