Hello All!
Daniel and I would like to share some good news:
After talking about it for years, and vetting the draft for months,
it's finally done: the Architecture Committee has adopted a proper charter
defining its purpose, operation, and authority.
You can find the charter here:
<https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Technical_Committee/Charter <
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Technical_Committee/Charter>>
The charter among other things defines from where the committee draws its
authority over technical development at the WMF: the committee acts as an
extension of the CTO. This gives the committee a clear role in the
foundation's decision
making processes.
The charter also clarifies the scope of TechCom: it is to act as an
authority on
technical decisions regarding any official software that serves Wikimedia
users.
The committee should be involved in matters regarding such software that are
strategic, cross-cutting, or hard to undo.
The committee has also given itself a new name, to better fit the scope as
defined in the charter: we are now the Wikimedia Technical Committee
(TechCom).
Looking forward to working with the technical community to fulfill the
charter!
Victoria & Daniel
