I have master in graphicdesign/ux, i am ok with tech so i started to do programming a lot (to the point that economicaly its much better for me to just program than design). I am also big on open-source.
There is huge problem with open-source design. The kind of design you are talking about needs to be centralized. Design is about bigger picture, about consistency and overall aim. There are so many design solutions to achieve the same thing... usualy what ends up happening is that the dev implementing it just does it in his way. When this piles up it harms the project. I understand the dev implementing it, he has all the right. But overall its realy hard. And its a social problem, not technical one.
