GOV.UK Design System sprint notes #1

What we delivered last sprint (ended on 10 March 2020)

Last sprint we:

  • added information to the Get started page so it’s clearer to teams using the GOV.UK Design System that discussions in GitHub might represent individuals’ views and aren’t necessarily “official”
  • updated the tag component to support use of multiple tags in different colours (thanks to @adamsilver for contributing this)
  • released GOV.UK Frontend v3.6.0 - including class changes to support different coloured tags and making it possible to hide elements when users print a page

What we’re planning to deliver next sprint (starting 11 March 2020)

In this next sprint, we’re planning to:

  • publish a new pattern on helping users to recover from validation errors
  • update the guidance on handling errors in date inputs
  • publish new guidance on when and how to open links in a new window
  • publish documentation on how to migrate to GOV.UK Frontend from old frameworks
  • update documentation on installing and getting started with GOV.UK Frontend
  • update the task list pattern so it’s clearer which tasks haven’t been completed yet
  • make the back link component and the approach to breadcrumbs on GOV.UK more consistent

Other stuff

The latest edition of the GDS podcast features Tim talking about the GOV.UK Design System.

Have a read of Hanna’s blog post explaining why we changed our recommendation on how to ask users for numbers.
