**Idea 1: State of Design in your community**

Details:

- Each panel member represents a particular community/project (XWiki, Wikimedia, Nextcloud, etc.)
- We ask questions about Design topics and how they are represented, executed, etc. in that particular community
- Each question will provide several answers and the public can interact and respond, representing their own community
- Examples:
  - **How often do you do usability testing?** for each issue, periodically, once per major version, etc.
  - **What types of accessibility compliance your community enforces?** (wcag, wai-aria, section 508, etc., no idea, no accessibility compliance)
  - **On average, how many design iterations are made for a particular proposal?** until agreement, max 3 versions, first-come-first-served, etc.
  - **What is the size of your Design team?** no team, 1 person, 1-5, 5-10, etc. OR **Do you have dedicated researchers inside the team?**
  - Other possible topics for questions: target representation, style guides, design system, heuristics, focus group, psychology reviews, usability reports, team size, interdisciplinary component, responsiveness, on-boarding elements etc. 🙂 I would need to see how many questions we can ask in the available time frame and decide on topics that would have diverse and relevant answers from the represented communities.
