Carbon Design System Roadmap Q2-Q3 2022

Our roadmap is looking out the next 3-6 months covering Q2 and Q3 of 2022. The work-streams that you're about to read about were influenced from a series of workshops dating back to 2021Q4 along with feedback from the Carbon Steering Committee and other PALs. The fact that you are reading this probably means that you might even be one of those key stakeholders and for that, we thank you for helping us guide the direction of Carbon so we can serve you better.

If you are an IBMer, checkout our Mural, which was used to draft this wiki.

Mission
