Add some new component libraries?

[melanierichards]

I don't own or contribute to any of the following component libraries, but they came up in my research for #116 and might be reasonable additions to the list of design systems:

• Bulma
• Foundation
• Ionic: may be slightly less relevant as it targets mobile/desktop apps and paradigms, but uses web technologies (HTML & CSS)
• UIKit

Thoughts? Any additional data/evidence needed in order to determine whether these pass criteria for inclusion?

I think if they are building with web technology that satisfies the largest requirements. I'm all for more research here.

Would https://github.com/ing-bank/lion be a useful addition to this list?

@melanierichards while we're focusing on web tech, we often do look at native platforms and we've heard folks from Windows are beginning to use this. When we get to the events and states we'll probably have to be specific to web libraries but I think if any native component library is able to be ingested that would be valuable as well. Also, I'd like to see Ionic included as well.

Hi! Shameless self-promoting, but I think Vaadin could also be included 🤗

How do we promote the owners of these libraries to contribute to Open UI? That feels like the best solution here.

I would be interested in contributing as well. I work on the Spectrum design system at Adobe, and also the React Aria library that we use to underpin our React implementation. It's kinda like the model/controller layer without any specific rendering, so I think it is similar in spirit to what Open UI is trying to accomplish. Happy to share what we've learned with this group. I would love for parts of this library to be built into the platform some day! 😄

How does one get involved here? What are you looking for help with?

[gregwhitworth]

@devongovett we'd love to have any contribution you can make. To add in the design system/component lib follow the contribution docs here: https://open-ui.org/contribute#add-a-design-system

There hasn't been any discussion on this issue for a while, so we're marking it as stale. If you choose to kick off the discussion again, we'll remove the 'stale' label.
