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/2017-02-01.
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:
* New MW core team is taking shape. Relationship to ArchCom to be worked out.
* IRC office hour on Feb 1st didn’t happen. The office hour about DB schema changes may happen on Feb 8th, pending confirmation from Brion.
RFC Activity: * [[phab:T589]]: "image and oldimage table refactoring": '''Approved after last call'''.
* [[phab:T66214]]: "Define an official thumb API": Converging on a solution. Proceeding to concrete planning & last call period soon. Please review and comment now.
* [[phab:T122942]]: "Support language variants in the REST API": Marko and Corey driving the discussion forward. Both hope to find a solution that is consistent across APIs, but this requires coordination.
* [[phab:T155813]]: "Decide on storage and delivery method for TemplateStyles CSS": The Reading team is working towards device-specific styling for templates. They are looking for feedback on whether to store these styles on a separate page, and how to deliver these styles to the user. After brief discussion, ArchCom tentatively favors inline delivery; similarity to template-data would be good for consistency.
* Daniel is working on [[phab:T152425]]: "make use of varnish xkey" and [[phab:T154674]]: "HookRunner"; these are soon to become RFCs.
