Workflow
This page hopefully makes the USWDS workflow process more transparent. Check out the USWDS roadmap to see our current priorities. To get into detail, this view includes items from across the USWDS repositories.
USWDS components and patterns have a defined maturity lifecycle that lives outside, but is related to, the workflow of issues and pull requests in GitHub. This maturity model describes how a component goes from concept to becoming an official USWDS component.
You can discuss ideas or approaches in this repo's Discussions: both officially in the Proposals section, and more casually in other areas. Community creations that may not be ready for evaluation to become part of the system but might be helpful to others can be posted and discussed in the Community Assets section.
USWDS currently depends heavily on its open source community's work. You can learn more on the main USWDS site and find out how you can contribute at USWDS's COMMUNITY.md and CONTRIBUTING.md.
At a high level, here's the priority order for USWDS work.
When reviewing issues and pull requests submitted to USWDS:
| Phase | Description |
|---|---|
| Backlog | |
| In Progress |
|
| Review/QA |
|
| Done | Code has passed all automated tests, manual checks and content reviews, and has also been reviewed on staging for browser and device testing. Issue is closed. |
