Hello,
Jenkins jobs relying on HHVM had troubles today exiting with:
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/hhvm/extensions/20150212/tidy.so:
cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
The root cause is installing libtidy-dev ends up uninstall the HHVM tidy
extension (hhvm-tidy).
The issue occurred between 16:20 UTC and 18:45 UTC. To the best of my
knowledge it is fully solved.
Sorry for the inconvenience :(

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/2017-06-21>.
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:
* Last call: Reading Lists <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T164990>. If no
new and pertinent concerns remain unaddressed by July 5, this RFC will be
approved for implementation. Please pay special attention to the proposed DB
schema and REST API.
* RFC discussion on IRC: HTTP redirects for #REDIRECT pages
<https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T53736>. There are various options, none of
them is perfect - but perhaps we can find one that is better than what we have
now. As always, the discussion will take place in the IRC channel
#wikimedia-office on Wednesday 21:00 UTC (2pm PDT, 23:00 CEST).
* New RFC: Make API usage limits easier to understand
<https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T167906>
* From SoS: Community Tech would love feedback on
<https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T152540> regarding HTML5 section IDs
* ArchCom discussed Bryan’s proposal for Special Interest Groups (SIG)
<https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T164551>. More feedback welcome. Key
questions seem to be: who grants authority to such groups? Is the proposal about
groups that address a subset of ArchCom’s scope, or about concerns that exist on
the same level as ArchCom’s?
* Ongoing discussion about given ArchCom a Charter, and revising scope, name,
and process:

contribute, how to embed Wikidata into articles on other wikis, tools like
the Wikidata Game, and how to query Wikidata (including SPARQL examples).
A question that came up during Documentation Day was whether or not we
should use the @inheritdoc convention for indicating that methods are
documented in parent classes (rather than leaving them blank).
Some arguments for using it include:
* It can help code-sniffers and linters know that the documentation isn't
missing.
* It lets humans who are looking at the code know that they can find
documentation elsewhere.
* We are already using it. (It appears over 200 times in core JavaScript
and about 40 times in core PHP. It's also used in at least 19 production
extensions.)
Some arguments for not using it:
* It isn't necessary for generating docs at doc.wikimedia.org (Doxygen
automatically inherits method docs if available).
* It would require adding thousands of extra comment blocks to our code to
implement it consistently.
What are people's opinions on using it?
Also, a quick note on usage. A lot of our existing usage looks like "*
{@inheritdoc}". As explained at phpdoc.org, this usage is technically
incorrect:
"Currently some applications have DocBlocks containing just the
{@inheritDoc} inline tag to indicate that their complete contents should be
inherited. This usage breaks with the PHPDoc Standard as summaries cannot
contain inline tags and inheritance is automatic; you do not need to define
a special tag for it. However, it does make clear that an element has been
explicitly documented (and thus not forgotten). As such we are working to
include a new (normal) tag in the PHPDoc Standard @inheritDoc that will
serve that purpose."
Information about the use of @inheritdoc in JavaScript can be found at
http://usejsdoc.org/tags-inheritdoc.html.
Hey,
ORES right now is under pressure and returns overload errors, we are
investigating the cause and we'll send you notice once it's back online.
Sorry for any inconvenience happened

O'Reilly just published some of their popular books for free, either as
part of open access movement or some kind of marketing (or both). I find
them useful to Wikimedia developers. It supports several types of e-books

This is a rather unusual type of email so I wasn't sure I was doing the
right thing so I just sent it to wikitech-l. Please spread the word if you
