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/2017-06-21.

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:

* Last call: Reading Lists https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T164990. If no new and pertinent concerns remain unaddressed by July 5, this RFC will be approved for implementation. Please pay special attention to the proposed DB schema and REST API.

* RFC discussion on IRC: HTTP redirects for #REDIRECT pages https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T53736. There are various options, none of them is perfect - but perhaps we can find one that is better than what we have now. As always, the discussion will take place in the IRC channel #wikimedia-office on Wednesday 21:00 UTC (2pm PDT, 23:00 CEST).

* New RFC: Make API usage limits easier to understand https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T167906

* From SoS: Community Tech would love feedback on https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T152540 regarding HTML5 section IDs

* ArchCom discussed Bryan’s proposal for Special Interest Groups (SIG) https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T164551. More feedback welcome. Key questions seem to be: who grants authority to such groups? Is the proposal about groups that address a subset of ArchCom’s scope, or about concerns that exist on the same level as ArchCom’s?

* Ongoing discussion about given ArchCom a Charter, and revising scope, name, and process: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Talk:Architecture_committee/Charter
