[Wikitech-l] ArchCom RFC update #5

[Gabriel Wicke]

This week, JavaScript module interfaces in ResourceLoader
 were merged, the ServiceLocator
implementation continued, and there was a lively discussion of options for
balancing templates on IRC. Shadow namespaces
 are scheduled for discussion at
next week's IRC meeting.

RFC inbox

   -

   T30085: RFC: Allow user login with email address in addition to username
   : Last update October. Issue
   is email addresses associated with multiple accounts.  Possibly related to
   AuthManager work.
   -

   T128352: RfC: Need to merge Notifications and Watchlist or lack thereof
   : Very much a product
   question.
   -

   T130528: RFC: PSR-6 Cache interface in Mediawiki core
   : Addshore and Anomie have
   been working on this recently.

Approved RFCs

T108655 Standardise access to JavaScript interfaces
 (Roan): Previously approved.
Implementation landed in master this week.
This week's IRC meeting

T130567 RFC: Hygienic transclusions for WYSIWYG, incremental parsing &
composition ,

T11 DOM scopes , and
T114445 Balanced
templates : (Tim) The discussion
exposed two main questions: 1) How to best resolve content model conflicts,
and 2) whether to (eventually) default to balanced templates or not. The
implementation in T114445 
proposes a solution to mark specific templates for balancing, and explores
two options for conflict resolution. The discussion will continue on the
tasks.
Next week’s IRC meeting

T91162 Shadow namespaces 
(brion): A proposed mechanism for sharing content like templates or modules
cross-wiki, similar to how InstantCommons and foreign file repos work.
Kunal is getting ready to work on this.
Under discussion

T124792 RFC: Service Locator for MediaWiki core
 (Daniel): Discussed in IRC
Office hour last week (see task for notes). Discussed at Wikimedia
Hackathon 2016 in Israel .
Implementation under way.

T91162 RFC: Shadow namespaces 
(brion): Scheduled for IRC meeting next week.

T123753 Establish retrospective reports for Security and Performance
incidents  (RobLa): Briefly
discussed at last week's IRC meeting, some activity on the task.

considered for code review + CI. On hold.

T39902 RFC: Implement rendering of redlinks as post-processor

highlighting links to non-existing pages in Parsoid HTML. Main question is
preprocessing vs. separate metadata processed on client. Experiment shows
that specific link matching / replacement can be done in <2ms for large
documents on the server.

T130663 RFC: Reference API requirements and options
 (Timo): We need to better
define the scope of this RFC and come up with a solid proposal. Open to
input on whether or not this should be blocked on larger product goals
relating to centralised citations. Join WikiCite 2016 in Germany!
