Change Figma file release process and make file public

[thrbnhrtmnn]

Description / User Story

With this task we want to update the release process for Figma files and make the Figma file public. Once the renaming of the component tokens is done.

For the release process, we will not need a separate release file and a release project in Figma anymore. This was not the right approach, as we would need to publish a new file to the community with each new version instead of just publishing the file once and then publishing updates of the same file.

With publication of the Figma file, we also need to go over all links to the Figma file again and make sure, that the correct file is referenced. The following links are currently known:

• boilerds.com links to the release figma file getting started page
• README.md links to the release figma file getting started page
• B01LER Project README links to the working figma file getting started page (ask @thrbnhrtmnn where to find this)
• CONTRIBUTE.md links to the release figma file getting started page
• GETSTARTED.md link to the released figma file getting started page
• Design Plugin in Storybook on each component page links to component pages in the working figma file
• DEVEN website on B01LER tools page

We should document the whole release process for future releases.

Background information

[thrbnhrtmnn]

We currently do not have the rights to make the Figma file public. As an alternative we added the Figma file to the repo and added a link to the file for downloading to the website. This way also external users have an option to access the file.

This task will be moved to the backlog again and can be started once we have the rights to publish the file to the community.

@larserbach , my ticket (RITM22362652) was closed, with the following message:

Hi Thorben,
You need to make a team to publish to the Figma community and the files that you want to publish need to be in that team
Please go through the article below for more details.

I don't get, what we need to do, so we may have to reach out again?

We found a way to publish files. Also we discussed to do this after the token renaming of all component tokens is done.
