Hi everyone,
I wanted to give everyone a heads up on our plans for the next
quarter. The long version is here:
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Wikimedia_MediaWiki_Core_Team/Quarterly_revi…
The short version: we're planning to primarily focus on:
* HHVM deployment. No promises that we'll get it done this quarter,
but we'll try
* Search. We should have everything moved over to CirrusSearch
before the quarter is over, and we hope to make some user interface
improvements in this area as well
* SUL finalization - Also in the "no promises" category, but we plan
to do work on this in the coming quarter
* Scap improvements - a fair chunk of this work will be HHVM related,
but there will probably still be other work that Bryan continues to do
on this.
* SecurePoll improvements - there's more work to do to make this more
easily configurable, and for automating the voter verification step
* Architecture/RFC review - continued work on review activities, as
well as followup from the Architecture Summit on things like the
Configuration Database conversations.
The above is in addition to the work the ongoing work the team does on
code and architecture review, consultations on security and
performance, deployment mechanics as well as the first-responder role
on deployment-related troubles.
In addition to listing the projects we're going to tackle, we
elaborated on a number that received serious consideration. If any of
those projects that received consideration seem urgent, it's worth
commenting. Even though it's unlikely we'll immediately change
course, we'll likely revisit the list next quarter, so now may be the
best time to start lining things up.
Feel free to comment either on the talk page for the page above, or on
this mailing list.
Rob
