Best wishes for 2014! I hope on your list of resolutions for the New Year is to participate in the straw poll for the Architecture Summit -- https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Architecture_Summit_2014/Straw_poll
Hi folks,
In addition to letting us know your thoughts on the straw poll, I'd also like to find out what you believe the general criteria should be, and how important each one is. Here's a few I have in mind: * Architectural impact - does the proposal significantly ease our ability to build new features and make existing ones more maintainable? Does the proposal significantly improve the quality of our codebase? Does it improve the testability of the code? * Implementer support - are there developers ready and eager to implement a proposal in this area? * Urgency - is there anyone who is otherwise ready and able to start work and is blocked until we make a decision? * Breadth of developer impact - is this something that we need to get everyone together to talk about, or is it possible for a small subset of people to get together and make the call?
Anything I'm missing? Please share your thoughts here or even better on the talk page for the straw poll: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Talk:Architecture_Summit_2014/Straw_poll
Thanks! Rob
