Hello all!
Here are the minutes from this week's meeting:
* New RFC about tagging imported revisions:
<https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T183061>. This is currently considered a
“draft” as the proposal needs work, but the motivation seems to have merit and
there is already some relevant discussion on the ticket.
* RFC process update accepted after Last Call: the new process can be found at
<https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Requests_for_comment/Process/Draft>. Krinkle
will replace the old documentation with the new version and explain all the
differences in a separate email.
* Last week’s RFC discussion was about refactoring the Preferences class.
<https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T178449>
* Ops is moving a first set of services to Kubernetes. We will probably have an
RFC on how Kubernetes is going to affect deployment and configuration changes
before wider use.
* Ops is planning to start using etcd for configuration management.
* Tgr found an interesting option that may address part of or needs wrt
JavaScript package management, see his comment on
<https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T107561>
* Active discussion about where to best put platform-specific default settings
<https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T182020>
