Description

This PR introduces the project proposal for the Dark mode project (#3592)

[fcoveram]

I assign you @zackkrida and @obulat thinking that you might have time to review the document and include additional info I typed as TBD.

The two points missing details are:

• Define the implementation participant.
• Specify infrastructure changes, if needed.

[obulat]

I'll try to review the plan this week.

Could you add an index.md file with the following contents:

Dark Mode

:titlesonly:
:glob:
*

This will fix the documentation build and then we'll see the built project proposal in a link in a comment on this PR.

Note: I copied the file contents from https://github.com/WordPress/openverse/pull/1176/files

I applied more changes. Please @zackkrida take another look.

Two things remain:

1. Is it ok if I add you @obulat as implementer? If not, I would like suggestions for who can address it.
2. I created an issue in marketing repo requesting suggestions for ideas, but if team members don't arrive timely, I think is fine to continue with the project and include the campaign description once we have it.

[zackkrida]

Hi @fcoveram I have reviewed again and still have some small changes. I apologize if it seems I am being nit-picky. This plan is a bit more brief than the ones we typically write, which is fine, but I do want to make sure we are capturing your intentions for the project as clearly as possible now so the project is easy for anyone to implement later.

As for the implementers, I think putting the @WordPress/openverse-frontend team will be fine.

[obulat]

I can be the implementer, @fcoveram :)

Drafting in accordance with our policy on PRs getting reminders that still need changes. Just wanting to avoid unnecessary re-pings 🙂

[fcoveram]

I added content for all the suggestions. Please reviewers, take another look.

[zackkrida]

LGTM!

[obulat]

The plan looks great!

I kind of wish we updated the last section to "Required implementation plans and design proposals" because the IP and design proposals can be prepared by different people, and can sometimes work in parallel.

[fcoveram]

In this case, designs are specified in the requirements list, but it could be better to create a new section called "Required designs" and point out whether the project needs designs for specific pages or components. Mixing it with the implementation plans might be confusing as plans outline the changes needed in advance.

I'd appreciate if you can create that issue requesting the change. As for this PR, I will continue with merging it.
