Hi All, Here are the minutes from this week's TechCom meeting (and sorry for the delay):
* RFC approved after last call: Heredoc arguments for templates (aka "hygienic" or "long" arguments). Implementation will probably have to wait until Parsoid has been ported to PHP, so we don't have to implement it three times. <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T99268> * RFC approved after last call: Abstract schemas and schema changes. This allows database updates to be written in a form agnostic to the underlying RDBMS, using the DBAL library. We will be dropping support for Oracle and MSSQL for core to make this feasible. The maintainers of the Oracle and MSSQL backends have expressed interested in adding support back as extensions. <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T191231> * RFC approved after last call: Create a proper command-line runner for MediaWiki maintenance tasks. Implementation is pending priorization by the Core Platform Team. <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T99268>. * RFC under discussion: Set explicit PHP support target for MediaWiki. <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T228342> * The TechCom meeting on August 14 will be a public meeting held as a session at the Wikimania Hackathon, at 15:00 Sweden time (6am in California). * There is no RFC discussion scheduled, and no last calls ongoing.
