In any case, I think we have critical mass: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Developer_Summit/About > all of the scheduled topics had Phab IDs associated with them. > I agree that RfCs are useful in some cases but not in all of them. However, I would still keep a single way to submit proposals as Phabricator tasks, in order to have one place with all the proposals. If the promoters of a specific proposal want to have the discussion elsewhere (in an RfC page, a plain wiki page...) then they can simply put a disclaimer in the task description and move the discussion there. There are two possible novelties related to proposed and scheduled activities that we could try at the Summit: * Phabricator form to submit Wikimedia developer Summit 2017 proposals (urgent because it blocks the opening of the call for participation) https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T146377 * Consider using Phabricator Calendar events to schedule Wikimedia Developer Summit sessions (we have more time for this one) https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T146749 -- Quim Gil Engineering Community Manager @ Wikimedia Foundation http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/User:Qgil _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list Wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
