      - [fix: change icon to symbol by ealvesss · Pull Request #7229 · jenkinsci/jenkins · GitHub](https://github.com/jenkinsci/jenkins/pull/7229) - 23 days waiting

  - User feature flags - Wadeck Follonier
    - [https://github.com/jenkinsci/jenkins/pull/7299](https://github.com/jenkinsci/jenkins/pull/7299)
    - Will allow UI experiments to land a lot quicker, without needing full consensus
    - Discovery / beta approach

  - Web components in Jenkins UX - Thorsten Scherler
    - [[sirocco\_based] refactor to be based on sirocco-wc by scherler · Pull Request #158 · jenkinsci/design-library-plugin · GitHub](https://github.com/jenkinsci/design-library-plugin/pull/158) (draft)

    - Web components intro slides - [https://slideswithsuperpowers.netlify.app/1](https://slideswithsuperpowers.netlify.app/1)
    - Web components use is starting on the [jenkins.io](http://jenkins.io) static site(s)
      - Thorsten exploring with code how to separate front end and back end and still retain Jenkins plugin support
      - Tables to divs migration as a possible example
        - Logic in the plugins to support both, then after baseline updated, could drop support for the old API
        - Icons, guava, JAXB, and others have used that pattern

  - UX futures talk at DevOps World 2022 - Tim Jacomb & Jan Faracik
    - Pointer to event
    - DevOps World event site
    - Feedback welcomed, very early days for a redesign
      - Lots of aspiration, lots of different ideas for approaches
      - Feedback on the chat channel during the event
      - Longer term chat in the ux-sig gitter chat channel

    - CloudBees has proprietary plugins that hook into the Jenkins UI
      - What is needed for plugin compatibility with the future UI?
        - Very early ideas being explored
        - As customizable as what we have now
        - Possibly under different jelly components

    - Does the new UI idea mean that we’ll need to update acceptance test harness tests?
      - Seems like it, since they are coupled to UI layout
      - Will be a series of many incremental steps
      - Many pull requests updating things at component level
        - Arrive at the new design by series of increments

  - Open UX regressions
