Thank you for sending the site exam= ples. They are great examples of well-designed user interfaces. Although th= e proposed Intel UI updates provide some pattern improvements, the overall = layout and design changes don't feel as polished as the examples you sh= ared. We believe more collaboration is needed to improve the design and imp= lementation of the proposed changes to meet both Intel's and IBM's = needs.

A little over a year ago, we developed an OpenBMC style guide = to make it easier for designers and developers to contribute to the project= . We built a living style guide prototype, but Ed's concern about who w= ould develop and maintain the guide kept it from moving forward. The incons= istency and lack of code reuse throughout the application is the result of = not having this documentation.

As we rewrite the application in Vue, w= e have an opportunity to create this documentation and assure that the Open= BMC UI is clean, maintainable, and adheres to an agreed-upon set of values.= Since joining the project, you have been working alone on both design and = development. We hope that we can work as a team to collaborate and lean on = each other's strengths.=C2=A0

I feel the next step is to schedule a m= eeting to review the existing style guide. We can then determine what needs= to be updated to meet both Intel's and IBM's needs. We can use the= updated style guide to create the theme changes required for the Bootstrap= -Vue out of box experience to adhere to the updated style guide.

This effort will require a stronger foc= us on the framework update and style guide development. When we start worki= ng on the framework update, the only updates to the AngularJS UI will be cr= itical bug fixes. Our goal is to have the framework update complete no late= r than the end of Q2 2020.

What are your thoughts on this plan?
