I've edited the page, called Greg's proposal
"Alternative A", and
added "Alternative B" which provides a little bit of time for catching
issues on
mw.org:
https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Deployments/One_week
Take a look at the page now, a few things you'll notice:
0) (very very) basic stats on our current cycle.
1) Each proposal now has a deployments calendar (the wikitable) showing
which day of the week there are deploys, and what happens during those
deploys.
2) There is now also a lifespan picture (sorry for the glare!) show,
well, the lifespan of each wmfXX branch on production servers along with
"development time" (ie: how many days between each wmfXX branch
creation (ie: how many days of development per branch)).
Take aways
Option A
* Devel time: 7 days
* Lifespan: 10 days
Option B
* Devel time: 7 days
* Lifespan: 14 days
3) There are now Pros/Cons tables for each option that outline what you
think they outline.
4) Also, lastly, James_F kindly was the one to create the Talk: page
with a clarification question on automated tests.
That's the highlight of changes for that page so you can go look at it
again and see the interesting bits (if any) for you.
I'll reply separately with my recommendation.
Greg
