RFC status update

20 minutes (starting 21:10 UTC)

Spend roughly 20 minutes ensuring Architecture committee/Status is up-to-date. Checklist of the questions we should answer:

Who is chairing the upcoming IRC meeting? E259
- What should be the central question: spec or archiving? “should invest in a spec?” is the question
- What should be the objective of a spec?
- Should we keep the syntax stable, or should we transform it?
- What role should the parser tests play?
- Should a spec center on HTML or on Wikitext? If we use HTML, what is missing in the Parsoid DOM spec?
- Timo will chair
Conclude last week's "final comment period"? Do we have anything that should enter "final comment"?
For each upcoming meeting, do we anticipate the RFC moving into "final comment"?
