[Sketch] provide Symbols for components

[romanr]

Continuing from #2668.
Sketch file does not represent UI as symbols. Symbols in Sketch are like components in React.

Imagine if controls in Blueprint were developed as functions in one monolithic javascript file. Then in order to use a component the developer had to open a large javascript file, copy relevant code and paste into their application.

Hi

[giladgray]

@romanr yes we are aware and actively working on this.

@giladgray Please make good use of symbols. All colors should be use a master simbol which, if changed, should affect all ui components. Also, remember to use anchor points inside fluid components and sub elements.

Let me know if you need help about that.

@romanr @equinusocio FYSA this is a huge amount of work and we all have full time jobs over here so it'll take some time to symbol-ize the entire library. don't think there's much opportunity for OSS contributions here unfortunately. watch this issue for updates.

@pkwi will be coordinating the work.

[romanr]

We would like to help but I don't think Sketch file is possible to be worked on by different contributors concurrently. I don't think git merges will be possible.

I could propose a version of symbolizing everything for your review in March. What do you think?

[adidahiya]

@pkwi is this still on our intended roadmap for the sketch file? if so, I think @vkorobov-boostlabs can go for it

[pkwi]

@vkorobov-boostlabs @adidahiya yeah, that would be great!

[vkorobov-boostlabs]

@pkwi @adidahiya I made a fork and working on it.
