Hi all!
Here are the minutes from this week's ArchCom meeting. You can also find the
minutes at <https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Architecture_committee/2016-11-30>.
See also the ArchCom status page at
<https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Architecture_committee/Status> and the RFC board
<https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/tag/mediawiki-rfcs/>.
Here are the minutes, for your convenience:
* Brion put together a draft for an ArchCom charter draft for an ArchCom
charter. Discussion to continue next week (possibly with Victoria present).
Some agreement that ArchCom should...
** ...have a clearer scope
** ...be more proactive
** ...produce guidance documents
** ...have a well defined role in the resource allocation process
* RFC board triage:
** Push back has based image URLs (T149847)
** Closing old (2016) working group task, we’ll discuss working groups in the
context of the charter draft.
** Plan to revive content model storage RFC (T105652), which got tangled with
multi-content-revisions.
** RFC on oldimage table refactoring ready to go on last call next week (T589)
** Deprecation policy (T146965) to be discussed next week (Dec 7)

Hello,
The next online office hour session of the Wikimedia Language team is
scheduled for next Wednesday, December 7th, 2016 at 13:00 UTC. This session
is going to be an online discussion over Google Hangouts/Youtube with a

only a limited number of participation slots are available. Hence, do
please let us know if you would like to join in the Hangout. During the
session, we will be taking questions from viewers only on the IRC channel
