Hi all!
Here are the minutes from this week's ArchCom meeting. You can also find the
minutes at <https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Architecture_committee/2017-03-08>.
See also the ArchCom status page at
<https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Architecture_committee/Status> and the RFC board
<https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/tag/mediawiki-rfcs/>.
Here are the minutes, for your convenience:
Active RFCs:
* <section> tags for MediaWiki sections
<https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T114072>: Parsing team is considering best
semantics for section wrapping.
* How should we store longer revision comments?
<https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T153333>: to be combined with the morge
general discussion about refactoring the revision table
* Disabling LocalisationUpdate on WMF wikis
<https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T158360>: RE wants to drop it, but there is
some pushback. Also, there are concerns about the current implementation.
Yesterday’s RFC meeting: Brion’s proposal for optimizing the revision table (again).
* Log:
<https://tools.wmflabs.org/meetbot/wikimedia-office/2017/wikimedia-office.2017-03-08-22.03.html>
* Related RFC “How should we store longer revision comments?
<https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T153333>” will be folded into Brion’s proposal.
* This is related to but separate from MCR
<https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T107595>. Proper RFC ticket(s) to be filed soon.
Next week’s RFC meeting (tentative, pending confirmation):
* explore High - Level Mobilefrontend Requirements (JavaScript frameworks,
Progressive Apps, and all that jazz)
<https://docs.google.com/document/d/1id-E_KELGGA3X5H4K44I6zIX3SEgZ0sF_biOY4INCqM/edit#heading=h.xs2aq4j4wzse>.
* NOTE: we plan to experiment with having a public HANGOUT meeting, instead of
using IRC.
Other topics:
* Tim Starling has been looking at etcd <https://coreos.com/etcd/> for
configuration management and potentially other use cases. See also T149617
<https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T149617>.
