cool! So you're suggesting we wait until WMF has finished the Configuration database?
Only if it is actually happening. I know Chad has wanted to do this for some time, but the Git migration took over. I think he is the staffer working on this.
I've just replied on this issue in the "[Mediawiki-enterprise] RFC Configuration database" thread.
What work could potentially be done in the interim, before the configuration database exists, to help with the goal of a common extensions repository and administrative dashboard? Some ideas:
* user interface mockups and paper-prototyping usability tests for the repository and the dashboard * getting the metadata for lots of extensions in shape (name, description, download, Packagist listing, icon, authorship, licensing, etc.) for use in the repository
