• PDF generation for Extension:Collection to be exposed as a stand-alone service https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T171965
• Quiddity et.Al. have laid out best practices for Special Interest Groups (SIGs) https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special_Interest_Groups (also see the discussion on the talk page). TechCom sees no direct connection to its current operation, but is looking forward to explore different modes of collaboration with and between such groups.
• Next week’s IRC discussion: Job Queue - the good, the bad, the ugly. https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/User:Daniel_Kinzler_(WMDE)/Job_Queue. There are several interlocking issues to discuss. We hope the conversation will surface the most pressing issues, and perhaps produce new ideas for solutions.
