Math 2.0

edit

We need to figure something out.

  • Brion volunteered to review more math changes
    • He started doing this already. (YAY!)
  • Math author did send a warning mail about Math breaking changes / cache issue. Unfortunately mail never made it to wikitech-l :-(
  • Dan will chat to him about user requirements and what he needs from us.
  • Needs folks on WMF side to help on Math / Potentially Math volunteers to test out on beta (check with Chris Mc Mahon)

Structured logging RFC

edit

Bryan posted https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/112699/ and dropped a note on the RFC talk page. Quite a bit of “new” here to digest; composer managed external libraries may be the hardest pill to swallow.
