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/2017-03-29>. 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: On the ArchCom’s Mind: * REST API 1.0 to be announced as stable! <https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/REST_API> * The services team updated their requirements document for the container pipeline: <https://docs.google.com/document/d/1UNl3P4Ky_K_qu3Md700xeDMEyThF07jXqr1eIH1…> * The proposal to get rid of LocalizationUpdate seems to have been replace by a drive to rewrite it to integrate with git more closely, see the discussion on <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T158360> * Ladsgroup is working on using Redis as a distributed lock managing mechanism for Wikidata change dispatching, see https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T151993 and <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/diffusion/EWBA/browse/master/docs/change-…> * On a related note, Services team is discussing replacing Redis with a Kafka based solution for some use cases. Ask GWicke for details. There is a related discussion about replacing the JobQueue with changeprop and EventBus. (note: Wikidata change dispatching is not (yet) “changeprop”). See <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T149408> and <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T157088> * As the new MediaWiki Platform team is taking shape, it has taken ownership of some previously orphaned parts of the MediaWiki code base, see <https://www.mediawiki.org/w/index.php?diff=2428275&oldid=2382496&title=Deve…> and <https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/MediaWiki_Platform_team> Input wanted: * Input wanted on “Provide standard-compatible way to load multi-file packages” <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T133462> * The idea of building a standalone password verification service is being revived, input wanted: <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T120484> RFC discussions: * We discussed “Canonical data URIs and URLs for machine readable page content” <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T161527> on Wednesday. There was rough consensus for URLs of the form https://commons.wikimedia.org/data/Data:Avignon_City_Wall.map redirecting to action=raw URLs. Full log: <https://tools.wmflabs.org/meetbot/wikimedia-office/2017/wikimedia-office.20…>. Daniel will refine the writeup and then announce the RFC for a Last Call. If no new pertinent concerns are raised during the last call period, the RFC will be approved an April 12. * There is no public RFC discussion scheduled for next Wednesday, April 5. -- Daniel Kinzler Principal Platform Engineer Wikimedia Deutschland Gesellschaft zur Förderung Freien Wissens e.V.
