No, that's not what I meant. Contributions (from whomever) to for example the production cluster puppets (through gerrit), that may have an RFC on wikitechwiki ahead of time sounds awesome. Stuff can be proposed by whomever, and then implemented by whomever. Then tested in labs and merged/pushed to production. I was refering to projects that will not be foundation engineering projects, or at least do not intend to be that. *cut 2 paragraphs* ...when trying to come up with examples, it turns out that those examples (Tool-Labs: early extension development, bot hosting, slow-query tools, ..) probably wouldn't put their documentation on either wikitech or labsconsole, so nevermind. -- Krinkle _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list Wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
