I think you may be referring to the first link of the meetbot notes, which was 
ended before we stopped discussing.  Starting at [19:17:26] <robla> in the chat 
logs <http://bots.wmflabs.org/~wm-bot/logs/%23wikimedia-office/20151030.txt>, 
it seems clear to me that the consensus is that unless there are good reasons 
to ditch something that already does most of what this project is about, then 
we should adapt what we are already using.  If I'm mistaken, please correct me.

Getting closer here <https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/235671>, need some help 
on the API big time.  Will also need to revisit some meta schema design things 
over on https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T116247 to make things easier for 
EventLogging.

@gwicke, I think this may be a problem.  From my perspective, the goal of this 
project is a generalized event service with well designed and standardized 
schemas for all of WMF.  For this MVP, we have chosen to model change events 
because that is what you are interested in.  This is an 'MVP', and will likely 
require iteration after the first deployment.  I don't think having a live 
services production goal based on this is realistic.

That is one of the reasons for sticking with EventLogging.  It is already 
useable by small installs without Kafka.
