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.
