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:

Recent Activity:

• etcd under consideration for configuration management, see

https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T156924.

• Adam Shoreland (addshore) is working on an extension for transferring

files from Wikipedia to Commons, with the full history intact. See https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T140462

• Input wanted on overriding namespaces defined in extension.json, see

https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T160462 and the “Letting configurations override namespace registration of extensions” thread on wikitech-l.

• Some activity regarding error message i18n on the RFC on JSON validation:

https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T147137.

Past session on MobileFrontend requirements:

• Detailed notes at

https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Reading/Web/Projects/ OCCAM/ArchCom-03-15-2017.

• We had a presentation and Q/A session on hangout, with notes taken on

IRC, and some questions taken from IRC. We failed to get the youtube stream working, but we did not max out hangout.

• Using a video conference for a high level overview session seems

moderately successful, with room for improvement on the details. ArchCom will consider this mode for some future public meetings. We may try a different video conference service next time. Has anyone tried Spreed https://www.spreed.me/? We could even host it, see https://nextcloud.com/webrtc/.

Upcoming RFC discussion, Wednesday, March 29:

• “Canonical data URIs and URLs for machine readable page content”

https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T161527.

• The discussion will take place in the IRC channel #mediawiki-office on

Wednesday 21:00 UTC (2pm PDT, 23:00 CEST).

Did you mean(TM) #wikimedia-office ? :)
