Re: [Wikitech-l] ArchCom RFC update #5

This week, JavaScript module interfaces in ResourceLoader <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T108655> were merged, the ServiceLocator implementation continued, and there was a lively discussion of options for balancing templates on IRC. Shadow namespaces <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T91162> are scheduled for discussion at next week's IRC meeting. Gabriel RFC inbox - T30085: RFC: Allow user login with email address in addition to username <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T30085>: Last update October. Issue is email addresses associated with multiple accounts. Possibly related to AuthManager work. - T128352: RfC: Need to merge Notifications and Watchlist or lack thereof <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T128352>: Very much a product question. - T130528: RFC: PSR-6 Cache interface in Mediawiki core <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T130528>: Addshore and Anomie have been working on this recently. Approved RFCs T108655 Standardise access to JavaScript interfaces <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T108655> (Roan): Previously approved. Implementation landed in master this week. This week's IRC meeting T130567 RFC: Hygienic transclusions for WYSIWYG, incremental parsing & composition <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T130567>, T114444 DOM scopes <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T114444>, and T114445 Balanced templates <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T114445>: (Tim) The discussion exposed two main questions: 1) How to best resolve content model conflicts, and 2) whether to (eventually) default to balanced templates or not. The implementation in T114445 <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T114445> proposes a solution to mark specific templates for balancing, and explores two options for conflict resolution. The discussion will continue on the tasks. Next week’s IRC meeting T91162 Shadow namespaces <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T91162> (brion): A proposed mechanism for sharing content like templates or modules cross-wiki, similar to how InstantCommons and foreign file repos work. Kunal is getting ready to work on this.
