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/2017-03-15>.
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:
Notable activity:

* CURL to become an optional dependency of MediaWiki, managed by composer
* Template styling RFC has reached agreement.

Using hangout was an experiment to see whether this is feasible and useful. We
do not currently plan to make Hangout the default meeting mode. Observations:
* We failed to get the youtube stream to work.
* We did not come close to the 25 person limit for hangout.
* Using IRC for logging is useful. Relaying questions and notes between IRC and
Hangout works, but takes effort.
* Please give feedback about using Hangout for this kind of meeting!
No public meeting planned for next week (March 22)
