The minutes from TechCom's triage meeting on 2020-12-09.

Present:  Daniel K, Tim S, Dan A, Timo T.
RFC: PHP microservice for containerized shell execution

   - https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T260330
   - Approved

Create WikiTeq group on Gerrit

   - https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T267213
   - Daniel to update the page
   - Tim to create the Gerrit group

RFC: Amendment to the Stable interface policy (Nov 2020)

   - https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T268326
   - Ready for Last Call?
   - Discussed deprecation logistics.  Currently it’s possible to have only
   one day between soft and hard deprecation.  Talking about increasing it to
   at least 3 months or one full release cycle (from start to finish, aka at
   least 6 months).

RFC: Introduce PageIdentity to be used instead of WikiPage

   - https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T208776
   - Ready for Last Call?
   - Some discussion about PageIdentity being global (with a Wiki ID) and
   not being a perfect drop-in replacement for Title because of that, because
   it suggests classes using PageIdentity support non-local pages.
   - Not ready for last call :)  Will walk through some concrete examples
   for the transition from Title to PageIdentity to unblock.  A suggested
   alternative: transition to LocalPageIdentity instead, and later to
   PageIdentity for users of Title that begin to support non-local pages.

RFC: Expand API title generator to support other generated data

   - https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T263841
   - Tim will comment and ready for last call
