No, not exclusively. Cindy Cicalese from MITRE was there with Markus Glaser and I last year. It was then that we got to talk with Kunal (Legoktm) about his then-new extension.json effort. I grilled him about using composer and he explained why he wasn't using it. (I've since seen his rationale borne out through my interactions with the Composer devs. I made sure that those interactions were public and available for others to see so that if anyone feels the need to grill anyone in MW core about it again, we have something to point them to.) I would *love* to have developers who are focused on MediaWiki outside the WMF involved in the summit. In the survey that we recently completed in the MW Stakeholder's group, we've seen that SMW devs are some of the most important ones in this regard. We need more non-WMF voices involved in these sorts of activities. Cost should not be too much of an issue. The WMF has travel grants for this sort of thing if that is needed. I encourage any developers who have an interest in the future of MediaWiki (i.e. all SMW devs) to attend. Thanks, Mark. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Semediawiki-devel mailing list Semediawiki-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/semediawiki-devel
