Can we resolve:

  • phab:T590 "RfC: Graph"? -> Brion
  • phab:T488 "Define a process to involve the community triaging and promoting architecture RfCs"? A: OK

Hackathon discussion on future of cte:

  • Gabriel: should we be clear in advance that we are waiting for Rob to be back before we commit to long term plans?
  • Brion: focus on top priorities, content; solicit feedback on structure, but don't make it the main focus
  • Daniel: we could have a discussion about legitimisation and community involvement in the c'tee
  • Could talk about non-WMF users and their needs

GSoC topics

  • Students will be at Lyon
  • Improving documentation: better mid-level documentation, like $IP/docs directory, synchronised with wiki

Committee (phab:T89907):

  • defer *decisions* until Rob, but brainstorm and present ideas / options
  • figure out big questions / goals, think about structure to make that happen
  • Tim: survey about value of architecture committee?
