Architecture committee/2014-10-22
People present: Tim, Brion, Mark, Daniel, Roan
Pending action items
[edit]- Roan to tell FSG meeting that they should update template RFC with their recommendation so ArchCom can actually decide on it
- https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Requests_for_comment/HTML_templating_library#Current_plans <- quick note, needs expansion. Brion will help with this.
- Roan told them this, but they didn't end up doing anything (internal miscommunication)
- at least there's action on the changeset
- yeah; at this point the RfC basically is that changeset, but it needs a longer blurb about what's actually being done in that change and why
- Tim to ask Rachel about dev summit schedule, number of rooms, time available for arch discussion, etc. Ask Rachel to attend next week's committee meeting about this.
- Tim to ask Rachel and/or Robla about invitation lists
- Rachel says they are meeting this week or next week or both to make initial plans, and will get back to us when they have something for us to do
- Brion to draft expansion email today
- http://etherpad.wikimedia.org/p/archnote draft
- Looks good to me
- sent
- brion: flesh out Graph rfc w/ Yuri
- not done yet
- Tim to write RFC on merging enhanced recentchanges with normal RC
- Consider: paging sucks. Pure client-side possible?
- not done yet
