The initiative has three main goals:

  1. Add a new design to Drupal 8.
  2. Establish a clear process for the selection and process of adding new themes to core.
  3. To develop a collaborative environment for designers.

A new Designers' Theme for Drupal 8

The main outcome of the Design Initiative is to add a new core theme to Drupal 8.

Discussion: #1087784: Add new theme to Drupal 8.1.x or another minor version
Issue: #911054: Remove Garland from Core

Establish a Clear Process

In Drupal 8 and beyond we want a clear process to facilitate the selection and process of adding new themes to Drupal core.

In Drupal 8 we will to choose the next theme based on the design, then code the selected design into the next core theme.

Develop a collaborative environment for designers

To facilitate the process we will build a new site geared towards the requirements for-filling both goals 1 and 2. Primarily this means developing a collaborative site where designers can post work, discuss and iterate designs based on community feedback and discussion.
