Hi everyone,

I have a working session with Dan tomorrow to do major work on the
wiki page here:
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Wikimedia_MediaWiki_Core_Team/Quarterly_review,_April_2014

Given the relative lack of controversy around just going with HHVM,
the clear end-user benefit, and the lack of a well-articulated and
deeply-championed alternative, I think there's less urgency in getting
a consultative mail out to wikitech-l in advance of our quarterly
review.  Nevertheless, I think it sets good precedent, so I'd like to
do it anyway.  I'd like to have a solid articulation of all of the
work that we're doing in addition to the work we've considered and
decided not to do this time around, so that people are informed about
what we're not doing in addition to knowing what we are, and can make
a last minute case for something else.

I don't have a draft of said email started, but it's basically going
to be the highlights from the wiki page above.  Dan and I will be
editing between 11am and 12pm PDT tomorrow, so that's the main time to
avoid doing a lot of work there.  Any time before or after that is
fair game, so please take a look at it, and if there's areas that you
feel you can fill stuff in prior to our meeting, or elaborate/correct
after our meeting, please do.

Thanks
Rob

Yes. :) You can invite folks to check out <http://en.wikipedia.beta-hhvm.wmflabs.org/>, which is (finally) ready for public consumption.
