+# New Repository Proposal: ui
+
+## Summary
+
+This document proposes a new repository under the `instructlab` GitHub organization:
+
+- `instructlab/ui`
+
+## Background
+
+Currently we don’t have public repository under InstructLab that hosts UI-related work. The goal of this project is to provide a space for hacking a UI for the InstructLab. The scope of this project is to support the following personas through the UI:
+
+- External contributors who want to contribute skill and knowledge to the taxonomy repo
+- Triagers who will be evaluating the taxonomy contributions.
+
+These personas are not limited to the above list, but the initial focus will be on these two.
+
+Intent is to build this UI as a SaaS service for the upstream project and its taxonomy repo, but build in a way that someone could deploy the same service on their own infrastructure for managing their own taxonomy repo.
+
+## Maintainers
+
+The initial team of maintainers (GitHub Team - `UI Maintainers`) for this repository will be:
+
+- Anil Kumar Vishnoi <[email protected]>
+- Brent Salisbury <[email protected]>
+- Taiga Nakamura <[email protected]>
+- Guang-Jie Ren <[email protected]>
+- Juan Cappi <[email protected]>
+- Daniel Tan <[email protected]>
+- Gregory Pereira <[email protected]>
+
+## Seed Code Contribution
+
+We are planning to seed this repository with the code from the `instructlab/instructlab-bot` repository [here](https://github.com/instructlab/instructlab-bot/tree/main/ui). This code will be used as a starting point for the UI work. This code is already open source and licensed under the Apache 2.0 license.
+
+## Alternatives Considered
+
+### Use `instructlab/instructlab-bot`
+
+We currently have a very initial version of InstructLab UI related code present in `instructlab/instructlab-bot` repo (in "ui" directory). We can continue hacking the code in that repo, but I believe that is not the right place for the UI work, as instructlab-bot is supposed to be a backend component that is scoped to work as a triagers assistant tool with no direct interfacing to contributors or traigers. To work with a cleaner scope of these separate work streams, it makes sense to separate the UI work in its own repository.
