Agora is a design framework (inspired by Bootstrap and Foundation) which aims to provide Wikimedia Foundation designers and developers with a consistent set of styles for creating MediaWiki extensions and experimental tools. This is part of an ongoing initiative to improve MediaWiki's usability and consistency. Community developers are encouraged to make use of Agora where applicable.
Please see the Wikimedia Foundation Design Wiki for a background on the design principles that drive Agora.
