Hi everyone,
Jeroen let me know offlist that he's not interested in writing an RFC in this area, so I'm wondering if there are any other takers for Composer use in MediaWiki.
I think there may be multiple RFCs to consider: 1. Composer as a means of MediaWiki extension management 2. Composer as a means of MediaWiki shared library management 3. Exposing certain functionality in embedded in MediaWiki as reusable Composer libraries.
It seems that the idea of using Composer more in MediaWiki generally comes up at least once every 2-3 months, but we never get beyond the "wouldn't it be nice if...." stage. I honestly don't think it would take that much of a shove to put us on a trajectory to using it much more seriously.

Hi Jeroen,
I'd love for someone to take a crack at writing an RFC for this, and maybe we can get this on the agenda for the Architecture Summit. It seems to be a topic that comes up frequently, and has a number of champions, so it doesn't have to be you that does this. Thoughts?

Hey all,
Several MediaWiki extensions, such as Maps and Semantic MediaWiki, are now installable via Composer. Lately I've been getting quite a few questions from developers on how to have their extensions support this awesome dependency manager, and decided to write down the most important points that are not obviously evident in the Composer documentation down.
