Drupal CMS AMA Explores Design System for Experience Builder

Staff Reporter

Drupal's recent Ask-Me-Anything (AMA) session hosted by Cristina Chumillas, Lauri Timmanee, and Lenny Moskalyk delved into the proposed design system for the Drupal CMS Experience Builder. The session addressed its purpose, implementation, and potential collaboration avenues, drawing interest from developers and designers.

Discussions highlighted the need for a flexible, component-driven design system adaptable to diverse branding needs. While modern CSS features, including CSS variables, were emphasized over older preprocessing tools like Sass, collaboration with Experience Builder's drag-and-drop interface remains integral. Contributors explored AI’s role in accelerating processes, though full automation was deemed premature.

The timeline targets a summer 2025 release, aligning with the Experience Builder launch, with submissions for proposals due by December 6, 2024. Proposals should outline a scalable component structure, leveraging existing tools or frameworks, and include plans for ongoing community engagement.

This AMA showcased Drupal's commitment to enhancing user experience, encouraging open collaboration, and integrating cutting-edge web design technologies.
