Hello,
Some background:
The Sunsetting Working Group[0], which came out of a WMF Technology manager's face-to-face after Wikimania and is made up of cross-departmental members, was given the goal of determining how we can reduce the set of un-, under-, or not clearly maintained code running in Wikimedia production. To be clear, the goal was not to "sunset" (aka: remove) all un-, under-, or not clearly maintained code, but instead make an effort to resolve 'stewardship'/'ownership'/'maintainership' issues as best we can.
The process the working group devised is outlined on mediawiki.org[1]. In short it is: propose something to review, fill out the rubric, give time for wider feedback, submit a prioritized list to the WMF Chief Product and Chief Technology officers so they can make the hard decisions of what to fund and how.
This is the first time we are doing this process and we are on an abbreviated schedule with respect to the Foundation Annual Planning timeline. We will be doing these quarterly on a known schedule (to be published at a later date) to remove any future similar time schedule stress.
The point of this email:
We have 4 reviews currently proposed[2]. They are:
- AbuseFilter (and dependencies)
- IRC RecentChanges feed
- RelatedSites extension
- TimedMediaHandler
We are soliciting wider feedback on wiki[3]. Please leave feedback on the relevant talk page.[4][5][6][7]
Again, unfortunately our timeline is abbreviated this time around and we will be closing the feedback on February 7th.
Thank you for your feedback!
Greg
