Hi Daniel,
Thank you for the update. I was wondering, how does the new Front-end Architecture Working
Group relate to the existing Front-end Standards Group?[1] Does it replace the previous
group or do they operate independently?

Hi All,
Here are the minutes from this week's TechCom meeting:
* RFC Last Call until 2019-10-02: Drop IE6 and IE7 basic compatibility and
security support <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T232563>. This means we can
remove code that works around issues with IE6 and IE7. If no concerns remain
unaddressed by October 2nd, the RFC will be approved as proposed.
* Discussed: Kickoff of the Front-end Architecture Working Group (FAWG)
<https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Front_End_Architecture_Working_Group>. The
purpose of the Frontent Architecture Working Group is to propose an architecture
for a more modern front-end to MediaWiki, enabling a richer user experience.
Efforts to modernize the user interface have often struggled with limitations
imposed by MediaWiki core and the overall system architecture. FAWG is
an effort by the Product and Technology departments to develop a mid-term plan
to overcome these limitations.
* Discussed: Section headings with clickable anchor
<https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T18691>. This is about a "link to this
section" feature pegged for deployment on WMF wikis. The RFC is to make sure
that there are no performance issues with this change.
* IRC discussion next week: Core REST API namespace and version
<https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T232485>. This is about versioning strategies
for public APIs. As always, the meeting will take place on Freenode in the
#wikimedia-office channel, at 21:00 UTC (2pm PDT, 23:00 CEST).
