Fedora Design Team Docs: Revamp How We Work / Processes section

As part of &13 we are revamping https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/design/ to include more information and make it look more inviting 😃 taking inspiration from our old Wiki page: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Design. We are going to break it down into sections and work on one part at a time.

Tickets for other sections can be found in the Fedora Team Resources epic: &13

For this ticket, we need to have what our How We Work / Processes section will say. This just needs to be a text draft for now.

Some points and subheadings to include:

How We Work / Processes

General Process

Feasibility of finishing stuff with the time given notice.

  • Read through the ticket, see if you have the capacity to contribute in any way regarding the timeline and requirements requested.
  • Generate ideas and inspiration for the request. Often, just pencil or pen sketches get multiple ideas in different directions. Ask clarifying questions if necessary and share your first round of ideas on the ticket.
  • Once the requester provides feedback on which idea they want to pursue, develop the idea further.
  • Take the elements of design into consideration at each stage, asking for feedback or communicating the process more often than not.
  • Upload final files onto the ticket, or repo as they are required.
  • Use an example
