Cross-posting to mediawiki-l and mediawiki-enterprise, as I should have done initially.

Summary & logs of our meeting are up at https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Architecture_meetings/RFC_review_2014-04-29#Summary_and_logs . We have some open questions for Markus regarding Composer, and for administrators of MediaWiki installations. Would Composer work in your environment? And it sounds like we only want to replace an artisanal, homegrown MediaWiki component with an externally maintained library if the feature is complicated, upstream is friendly and responsive and aligned with us, and so on, on a case-by-case basis. https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/119939/ still needs review. -- Sumana Harihareswara Senior Technical Writer Wikimedia Foundation _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list Wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
