Hi,
I am writing to give you a quick summary of which RFCs we are currently working on in the ArchCom. Each RFC has the name of its 'shepherd' listed next to it. A shepherd is responsible for working with the RFC author to move the RFC forward, publicize it, and represent it in the architecture committee. Please have a look, and join the conversation on the RFCs that are of interest to you. Gabriel New RFCs: T129435 RFC: drop support for running without mbstring <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T129435> (Gabriel): New, very focused RFC by Max, discussion started.
