(WIP)

Fabric is an open source project with contributions coming from numerous sources around and outside of Microsoft. The Fabric Team©®™℠ is an Office funded group dedicated to improving the Fabric platform through various initiatives. These are our current focuses for the upcoming quarter.

Theming

Lead: @JasonGore
Meta issue can be found at #6978

The main objective is to create a unified approach to theming and customization that can be used across all of the Fabric controls as well as controls built on top of, or to be used in conjunction with Fabric.

Primary objectives currently include:

• Slots Slots: New experimental feature #7308
• Theme Tokens
• Typography
• Theme Provider

Lead: @kenotron
We're moving our build scripts into a package that will be shared across existing and future repos.

• Create just-stack-web-lib
• Create 'outdated' and 'selfupdate'

GitHub Bot

Leads: @cliffkoh @kkjeer
Our officeui-bot is already a huge help to our repo, and we're planning to continue to invest in the bot platform this upcoming quarter. Our goal is to create a platform that will support our bot working in any partner repo.
