I see in my drafts that I did not write up the second half of this summary, discussing UI Styling, SQL Abstraction, Configuration, Frontend performance, and Service-oriented architecture. Anything I say now would be pretty obsolete; nevertheless, my apologies.
I did today reorganize the https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Requests_for_comment queue so it's much clearer which RfCs are complete and awaiting community feedback. I hope this is useful at Wikimania.
