[EPIC] BYOD: Bring Your Own Design System
Problem/Concern
- This Epic is a component of defining the 2024 Roadmap - see #762 for additional details
Proposed Solution
Allowing people and organizations to adopt Theme Builder and integrate it with their existing design system is a common need. The solution will be a combination of:
- Approach and assessment, including documentation and/or tooling for self assessment and documentation on the approach, potentially using 'Explain' features of Generative AI to assess or suggest
- Identify and document the as-is, and to-be Design-Ops path to production, path to repair, and path to compliance, involving Design, Product, Engineering, Security, and Compliance for end to end accessibility
- Identify patterns of Theme Builder stepwise adoption and integration, for example, incrementally 'strangling out' existing components or design system processes and tooling to enable Theme Builder, along with potential tooling
- Determine the communications plan for enabling / launching this capability and building community awareness
Refinement of this epic into features will be tracked using the task list below - the Epic will be closed when all tasks are completed.
### Tasks
- [ ] Include elements of #544 design thinking and implementation that support BYOD
- [ ] Draft title for issue(s) to develop documentation for an initial assessment of an existing design system
- [ ] Add a draft title or issue reference here
- [ ] Add a general title / need that could become an issue
