1) Enable MediaWiki UI everywhere
Developers: Add $wgUseMediaWikiUIEverywhere=true into your LocalSettings
Non-developers: Explore http://mwui.wmflabs.org/wiki/Main_Page or
http://en.m.wikipedia.beta.wmflabs.org/ (the mobile site already
enables these to be the default)
2) Navigate around the site and make a note of interfaces that look
wrong.
Please file bugs against them here [1]
* Places where buttons are constructive when they should be
destructive / progress
* Take screenshots of interfaces that look cluttered/cramped.
* Identify pages which do not use MediaWiki UI styles at all
3) Let's fix the bugs
4) When this is all done, we will need to engage the
community/communicate this change. We might need to run a beta
feature. I'm hoping Jared or Steven can oversee this. Alternatively we
might just want to turn it on if we do not consider it a massive
change.
Is there a good forum for us to engage and recommend how community
members can get involved with at Step #1 ? That feels like it would
give us the sense of scale and community participation from the
beginning.

Very interesting read and I've been watching a good chunk of the videos
from
https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCFdA1LIvjYDLrqeHiZphNWA
Jared, where is our style guide at this point? I last checked in on it
around Wikimania.
Also, have you had a chance to watch

Thanks, Jon, for continuing to keep the pressure on.
The appearance/size change for e.g. checkboxes is very noticeable, and
right now it's inconsistent with other controls that are nearby, like
radiobuttons and dropdowns. The first thing is to actually finish the
style
guide and consistently apply it.
http://tools.wmflabs.org/styleguide/desktop/index.html is very incomplete
right now, when can we expect an updated version, or is there another one
I
should be looking at?
Thanks,
Erik

This is a situation that's partially a consequence of how we've decided to
generate the living style guide. It only reflects what is in the codebase
now really, so it doesn't (and really can't) contain style guidelines for
future iterations on other controls.
The best place to see proposed designs is the Trello board for
mediawiki.ui
(https://trello.com/b/EXtVTJxJ). When things are finalized enough on the
UX
side to more seriously request Jared is pushing them to Bugzilla.

Thanks Steven thats correct. The greatest strength and weakness of the LSG
is the same things, we'll know when you can use something in production
and
when it breaks, but we can't show it "live" until its in core.

Style guide is coming along, with the caveat from the other concurrent
thread that things can't get added to the style guide until they are in
core, which is still a blocker for many things currently
current state can be seen here
