RFC status update

[edit]

20 minutes (starting 21:10 UTC)

Spent most of meeting discussing Architecture committee/Status.

  • Who is chairing the upcoming IRC meeting? RobLa is chairing
    • Service orchestration as topic for today?  Don’t want to spend the whole meeting talking about it, but maybe 10 minutes.  Third party?  Memory consumption?  Scaling?
    • SOA RFC?
  • Conclude last week's "final comment period"? Do we have anything that should enter "final comment"?  Nope
  • Do we have a robust queue of RFCs to discuss at future IRC discussions?
  • For each upcoming meeting, do we anticipate the RFC moving into "final comment"?
  • How does ArchCom-RfCs board look?
    • Inbox:
      • T124569 RFC: Data namespace blob storage on wikidata.org
        • See also T134426, and Yuri's 2016-06-04 email to wikitech-l
  • What is the most important thing each ArchCom member is shepherding? Anything blocked? Are responsibilities balanced well?
    • Brion
      • T107595 Multi-content revisions is interesting, needed for various things in multimedia land
        • Meeting happened earlier this week; notes are on the ticket
      • T66214 - predictable thumb URLs
        • Break this out into:
          • Define set of core & extensible media file options for Handler extensions
          • Predictable thumb URLs
          • Improve InstantCommons perf by reducing need to run thumbnail URL lookups
          • Iframe-based rich media embedding for InstantCommons
      • plan to write up new RfCs for:
        • In-browser SVG rendering (pick up existing bug & mailing list notes)
        • iframe+CSP-isolated JS widgets for rich content
          • & extend that to InstantCommons via embedding
        • iframe+CSP-isolated JS gadgets for UI plugins
          • Build these out from ideas from hackathon project T131436
    • Daniel
      • Software Quality working group - will follow up on earlier proposal.  Will talk to people at Wikimania
      • Working on Multi Content Rev Spec with Brion
      • T113034 RFC: Overhaul Interwiki map, unify with Sites and WikiMap: checking in with Adam
      • T89733 (approved, with Stas driving implementation)
    • Gabriel
      • Looking into content composition working group, possibly kick-off at Wikimania
      • Discussing Multi Content Rev / RB interaction with Daniel; follow-up at Wikimania

      • Forming ArchCom-affiliated working groups

          • T123606 RFC: Implement ArchCom-affiliated working groups (process inspired by Rust's "subteams")
        • Testing Conpherence use for means of piloting ArchCom working groups. Still using Phab:Z425 as asynchronous ArchCom-RFC triage channel. A Security/ArchCom quasi-working group discusses some issues in Phab:Z411. I started renaming "subteams" to "working groups" on Requests for comment/Governance (with Nemo's help).

    • Timo
      • T18691 RFC: Section headings should have a clickable anchor. Reading team expressed interest to help shape the solution. Still open for more use cases and different ideas for how to solve it. Possible scope creep.
