Hi all, Here are the minutes from this week's TechCom meeting:
=== New RFC: Challenges of developing with npm dependencies === * The “frontend build step” RFC is overly broad, and has drifted over time, see https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T199004 * Dan will draft a new RFC focused on some of the issues we encounter in the Analytics team when developing Node.js services. Specifically around code review, CI/deploy, and dependency auditing. === Parsoid extension API === * https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T260714 * TT: this is a major milestone RFC, the new parser will replace the old one. Hooks and methods not mentioned here will likely be deprecated/removed. I believe that’s well-understood and the * Parsoid team did great outreach over the past year. This should be detailed and summarised on the RFC, or linked to. === Session expiry === * Pywikibot users have been experiencing CSRF tokens, see https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T261050 * This may be due to the fact that we have become more strict about expiring web sessions after a given time since we moved session storage to the Kask service. * It is currently unclear from the documentation for how long a CSRF token is valid for. This should be made more clear. === Removal of unused code without deprecation === * Daniel proposed a change to the stable interface policy on wikitech-l, in a thread titled “Making breaking changes without deprecation?” * Reactions are mixed, more feedback welcome. * The input from the mailing list will be used to update the current policy You can also find our meeting minutes at <https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Technical_Committee/Minutes> If you prefer you can subscribe to our newsletter here <https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Newsletter:TechCom_Radar> -- Daniel Kinzler Principal Software Engineer, Core Platform Wikimedia Foundation _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list Wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
