This is the weekly TechCom board review in preparation of our meeting on Wednesday. If there are additional topics for TechCom to review, please let us know by replying to this email. However, please keep discussion about individual RFCs to the Phabricator tickets.

Activity since Monday 2020-09-28 on the following boards:

https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/tag/techcom/

https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/tag/techcom-rfc/

Committee inbox:

  • T264334: Could the registered module manifest be removed from the client?

    • New task about the possibility of removing the huge module registry from the js sent to the client. The idea is being discussed.

Committee board activity: Nothing to report, besides inbox

New RFCs: none.

Phase progression:

  • T262946: Bump Firefox version in basic support to 3.6 or newer

    • Moves to P3 (explore)

    • It is pointed out that we’ve dropped support in production for TLS 1.0/1.1 in january, so de facto only Firefox 27+ is able to connect to the wikimedia sites

    • In light of that, it’s suggested that we might bump the minimum supported versions of browsers further.

IRC meeting request: none

Other RFC activity:

  • T260714: Parsoid Extension API. 

    • Last call to be approved, that will end on October 7 (tomorrow)

  • T487: RfC: Associated namespaces.

    • On last call to be declined, there is some opposition to the opportunity of marking it as declined on phabricator. Last call should end on October 7 (tomorrow)

  • T263841: RFC: Expand API title generator to support other generated data.

    • Erik asks if this is going to be generally applied to all generators or not.

Cheers,
Giuseppe
