[WikiDev17] OAuth roadmap planning
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

Session title

OAuth roadmap planning

Main topic

APIs and Developer Resources

Type of activity

unconference session

Description

1. The problem

OAuth is becoming an integral part of our offering to third-party developers, but its development is ad hoc and prioritized based on guesses. WikiDev might be a good chance to collect feedback and find out what are the most painful problems / most impactful features.

2. Expected outcome

A roadmap for the next year.

(To avoid setting false expectations: there is no official WMF resource allocation for OAuth development, so progress might or might not happen. It still seems worthwhile to have a roadmap in case it does.)

3. Current status of the discussion

4. Links

Event Timeline

Is it possible to include discussion about allocating official resources for OAuth development?

Is it possible to include discussion about allocating official resources for OAuth development?

Would such a discussion be useful if no one with the power to actually affect resource distribution participates?
Vaguely related: T149635: [WikiDev17] Developer Wishlist (my other proposal which is more aimed at changing resource allocation)

Is it possible to include discussion about allocating official resources for OAuth development?

What about inviting whoever has such power to this session?

What about inviting whoever has such power to this session?

Not sure who should that be, though - MediaWiki platform issues lack organizational representation. In the last year, the closest to official allocation was me working on it with @dr0ptp4kt's approval, so maybe he is interested.

Just noting that I saw the @ mention, and have added this as a discussion item for the next Reading Infrastructure weekly team meeting.

@Tgr Hey! As developer summit is less than four weeks from now, we are working on a plan to incorporate the ‘unconference sessions’ that have been proposed so far and would be generated on the spot. Thus, could you confirm if you plan to facilitate this session at the summit? Also, if your answer is 'YES,' I would like to encourage you to update/ arrange the task description fields to appear in the following format:

We will be reaching out to the summit participants next week asking them to express their interest in unconference sessions by signing up.

I do plan to facilitate.

To maintain the consistency, please consider referring to the template of the following task description: https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T149564.

To the facilitator of this session: We have updated the unconference page with more instructions and faqs. Please review it in detail before the summit: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Developer_Summit/2017/Unconference. If there are any questions or confusions, please ask! If your session gets a spot on the schedule, we would like you to read the session guidelines in detail: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Developer_Summit/2017/Session_Guidelines. We would also then expect you to recruit Note-taker(s) 2(min) and 3 (max), Remote Moderator, and Advocate (optional) on the spot before the beginning of your session. Instructions about each role player's task are outlined in the guidelines. The physical version of the role cards will be available in all the session rooms! See you at the summit! :)

Note-taker(s) of this session: Follow the instructions here: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Developer_Summit/2017/Session_Guidelines#NOTE-TAKER.28S.29 After the session, DO NOT FORGET to copy the relevant notes and summary into a new wiki page following the template here: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Developer_Summit/2017/Your_Session and also link this from the All Session Notes page: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Developer_Summit/2017/All_Session_Notes. The EtherPad links are also now linked from the Schedule page (https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Developer_Summit/2017/Schedule) for you!

The session was canceled due to scheduling conflicts. Slides are available but not terribly informative.
