[Wikitech-l] Fine-tuning the Architecture RfC process

Yesterday at the Wikimania Hackathon, Brion, Gabriel, Quim, Rachel, Robla, Tim, agreed on a series of little improvements to the Architecture RfC process in order to distribute the effort and move the driving force from the Engineering Community Team to the Architecture Committee. project: http://fab.wmflabs.org/project/board/72/ While the RfCs themselves will continue to be documented at https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Requests_for_comment , in Phabricator we will create tasks to reflect the RfCs that have actions pending and/or are ready to be reviewed. This should help everybody understanding quickly what is missing in an RfC to go through the process, and who is in charge to work on what. The Architecture Committee will meet regularly and decide the future RfCs to be discussed. They will also run the RfC meetings. ECT will continue to help scheduling and announcing these meetings. You can find the details at https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Architecture_meetings We will be creating tasks for the RfCs scheduled or likely to be scheduled. If you are impatient or extremely helpful, you can create the tasks for the RfCs that you are promoting. -- Quim Gil Engineering Community Manager @ Wikimedia Foundation http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/User:Qgil
