[Wikitech-l] Straw poll to determine program for Architecture Summit

2014-01-02 Thread Diederik van Liere 
Hi everyone,

Best wishes for 2014! I hope on your list of resolutions for the New Year
is to participate in the straw poll for the Architecture Summit --
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Architecture_Summit_2014/Straw_poll

Quick refresher: we have created clusters of related RFC's (
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Architecture_Summit_2014/RFC_clusters) for
the upcoming Architecture Summit. We are pretty happy with the clustering
and so now we want to hear from you what you think are the most important
clusters that should definitely be included in the program.

The poll will close Thursday, January 8th.

If you have any questions then please let me know!

Best,

Diederik

Hi folks,

In addition to letting us know your thoughts on the straw poll, I'd
also like to find out what you believe the general criteria should be,
and how important each one is.  Here's a few I have in mind:
* Architectural impact - does the proposal significantly ease our
ability to build new features and make existing ones more
maintainable? Does the proposal significantly improve the quality of
our codebase? Does it improve the testability of the code?
* Implementer support - are there developers ready and eager to
implement a proposal in this area?
* Urgency - is there anyone who is otherwise ready and able to start
work and is blocked until we make a decision?
* Breadth of developer impact - is this something that we need to get
everyone together to talk about, or is it possible for a small subset
of people to get together and make the call?

Anything I'm missing?   Please share your thoughts here or even better
on the talk page for the straw poll:

Thanks!
Rob
