RFC status update
edit20 minutes (starting 21:10 UTC)
Spent most of meeting discussing Architecture committee/Status.
- Who is chairing the upcoming IRC meeting? RobLa is chairing
- Service orchestration as topic for today? Don’t want to spend the whole meeting talking about it, but maybe 10 minutes. Third party? Memory consumption? Scaling?
- SOA RFC?
- Conclude last week's "final comment period"? Do we have anything that should enter "final comment"? Nope
- Do we have a robust queue of RFCs to discuss at future IRC discussions?
- For each upcoming meeting, do we anticipate the RFC moving into "final comment"?
- How does ArchCom-RfCs board look?
- Inbox:
- T124569 RFC: Data namespace blob storage on wikidata.org
- See also T134426, and Yuri's 2016-06-04 email to wikitech-l
- T124569 RFC: Data namespace blob storage on wikidata.org
- Inbox:
- What is the most important thing each ArchCom member is shepherding? Anything blocked? Are responsibilities balanced well?
- Brion
- T107595 Multi-content revisions is interesting, needed for various things in multimedia land
- Meeting happened earlier this week; notes are on the ticket
- T66214 - predictable thumb URLs
- Break this out into:
- Define set of core & extensible media file options for Handler extensions
- Predictable thumb URLs
- Improve InstantCommons perf by reducing need to run thumbnail URL lookups
- Iframe-based rich media embedding for InstantCommons
- Break this out into:
- plan to write up new RfCs for:
- In-browser SVG rendering (pick up existing bug & mailing list notes)
- iframe+CSP-isolated JS widgets for rich content
- & extend that to InstantCommons via embedding
- iframe+CSP-isolated JS gadgets for UI plugins
- Build these out from ideas from hackathon project T131436
