Hi all! Here are the minutes from this week's ArchCom meeting. You can also find the minutes at <https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Architecture_committee/2017-03-15>.
See also the ArchCom status page at <https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Architecture_committee/Status> and the RFC board <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/tag/mediawiki-rfcs/>. Here are the minutes, for your convenience: Notable activity: * "Disabling LocalisationUpdate on WMF wikis" is being worked on; After some discussion, it looks like it’ll be rewritten rather than removed. <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T158360> * CURL to become an optional dependency of MediaWiki, managed by composer * Template styling RFC has reached agreement. <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T155813> * Thumbnail API RFC has seen no activity last week. <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T66214> * Brion is working with Jaime on a tool to check for DB schema inconsistencies between server. Public meeting on Mobile Frontend Requirements: * Overview: <https://docs.google.com/document/d/1jlBl_qAIrGPF7zqOmK77Db8y4InO1j3qX1qqipzJNmc/edit> * Outcome: Collected feedback, will reiterate. Log: <https://tools.wmflabs.org/meetbot/wikimedia-office/2017/wikimedia-office.2017-03-15-21.10.html> Using hangout was an experiment to see whether this is feasible and useful. We do not currently plan to make Hangout the default meeting mode. Observations: * We failed to get the youtube stream to work. * We did not come close to the 25 person limit for hangout. * Using IRC for logging is useful. Relaying questions and notes between IRC and Hangout works, but takes effort. * Please give feedback about using Hangout for this kind of meeting!
