> So far we only have a suggestion for a change in technology but no measurable success criteria. From looking at the reports created during the building of our app, it seems realistic that we could get the init module down to 10-15 KB from currently >80 KB. Nonetheless, it would be nice to actually have a budget for this. > How do you plan to ensure the browser matrix we claim to support stays intact long after this change is long forgotten, and for changes done by the less gifted (counting myself)? Would be nice to have cross-browser testing by default. That not being available, I guess that we would have to rely on the way it is done (or not done) for the rest of Wikibase as well. > arguably the most popular JS build chain there is, not some random 3-star-github-repo. While that might be true, Mediawiki/Wikipedia is not a run-of-the-mill webapp where when you have seen one, you have seen them all. I'm not sure this build chain was designed to provide a build to be integrated into a preexisting extensive js environment. It would at least be nice not to include our own polyfills twice. All these things being said, I'm not sure that the size of the init script has a big influence on the loading time (at least on anything faster than GPRS/Edge).
