Hi folks,
As many of you may recall, we had some great conversations in
Amsterdam about how to move the architecture of MediaWiki forward (see
notes from last meeting [1]) One of the many things we resolved to do
was to have similar conversations when we had a critical mass of
developers convened in any one area geographically.
Since a number of us are in Hong Kong, we reserved a spot on the
calendar for 14:00-17:00 (Hong Kong time) tomorrow (see schedule[2]).
Tim Starling is a pretty critical attendee for this conversation, but
couldn't join us in person, but we're going to try to figure out how
to pull him in virtually with any luck.
We hope we can use this time to renew our momentum on architecture
guidelines as well as keep things going on the RFC process.
Those of you who aren't here in Hong Kong who are worried about us
settling things without you getting a say: don't worry. While we hope
to make good progress, this isn't meant to exclude discussion on the
mailing list, and we plan to have minutes available as well as to
continue conversation on this list.
The agenda for this meeting is here:

We're looking forward to a productive meeting!
