Description

This is an old ticket, for the Last Call see T220657: Establish Architecture Principles as a policy!

The goal of this session is to introduce and discuss the MediaWiki Platform Architecture Principles draft that TechCom has been developing.

https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Technical_Committee/MediaWiki_Platform_Architecture_Principles

These principles are intended to guide the Platform Evolution program, and other engineering efforts around MediaWiki and other Wikimedia technologies.

We would like to use this opportunity for "low latency" discussion of the principles we are proposing, before announcing this document as an official recommendation of TechCom.

When: Saturday 19 May at 18:00 (Barcelona time)
Where: Sessions flaix (Q3/0003)
Etherpad: https://etherpad.wikimedia.org/p/wmhack2018-techcom-archipelago

Great, edited the wrong ticket. See T220657: Establish Architecture Principles as a policy for the last call.

@daniel - per this comment, is there a documented definition of "official WMF tool" anywhere? Specifically, who makes that determination?

Before I respond here: we are on the wrong ticket. I pasted the wrong link. Sorry for the confusion...

Can you repeat your question on T220657: Establish Architecture Principles as a policy? I'll reply there, then.

@daniel - done.

After reading the document I do not feel encouraged to develop something... instead I am getting the feeling things are getting more burecratic and less inclusive. Especially student developers and interested hobby hacker might not be enlighted by the quite formal document.
