Code for NL - Towards a Shared Component Library
Code for NL is a Dutch network that promotes digital government transformation through open source collaboration. Their goals are to promote reuse of solutions, connect organizations, and engage the developer community. One focus area is developing a shared component library to improve effectiveness, efficiency, and usability across government products and services. They are gathering input from meetups and a user research process to determine what such a library should contain and how it can best serve developer and end user needs according to design principles like openness and reuse.
