Yesterday at the Wikimania Hackathon, Brion, Gabriel, Quim, Rachel, Robla,
Tim, agreed on a series of little improvements to the Architecture RfC
process in order to distribute the effort and move the driving force from
the Engineering Community Team to the Architecture Committee.
From now on, Architecture RfC related tasks are handled
in a Phabricator
project:
http://fab.wmflabs.org/project/board/72/
While the RfCs themselves will continue to be documented at
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Requests_for_comment , in Phabricator we
will create tasks to reflect the RfCs that have actions pending and/or are
ready to be reviewed. This should help everybody understanding quickly what
is missing in an RfC to go through the process, and who is in charge to
work on what.
The Architecture Committee will meet regularly and decide the future RfCs
to be discussed. They will also run the RfC meetings. ECT will continue to
help scheduling and announcing these meetings. You can find the details at
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Architecture_meetings
We will be creating tasks for the RfCs scheduled or likely to be scheduled.
If you are impatient or extremely helpful, you can create the tasks for the
RfCs that you are promoting.
