# '''Update from Vincent'''
#* {{Agenda presenter|Vincent}} I'm learning Ansible via an online course.
#* {{Agenda presenter|Vincent}} My goal is to contribute to Meza.
# '''Connecting to New Users'''
#* {{Agenda presenter|Vincent}} Funny story about my first EMWCon.  It was right after I started at NASA and didn't have much experience with MediaWiki.  I listened to Lex's talk and I was in the front row, after the talk Lex approached me and asked me what I thought.  One thing I didn't understand was what a Category was in a wiki so I asked him.  Lex immediately asked if I was an "newbie".
#* {{Agenda presenter|Vincent}} I'd like to give a talk at the next EMWCon targeted at new users.
#** {{Agenda presenter|Bryan}} That would be amazing!  I wish I had attended something like that at my first EMWCon and I'd still be really excited about that
# '''MediaWiki Skins'''
#* {{Agenda presenter|Bernhard}} I talked to the developer of [https://tweeki.kollabor.at/wiki/Welcome Tweeki]
#** {{Agenda presenter|Bryan}} Tweeki shouldn't be confused with the alternate wiki platform [https://twiki.org/ Twiki]
#* Trying to decide if there's a community need for [https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Skin:Chameleon Chameleon]
#* Is it possible the community should choose Tweeki over Chameleon?  It seems Chameleon is not being developed
#* {{Agenda presenter|Jeroen}} In related news, we are looking for a UI developer to collaborate wtih
#* {{Agenda presenter|Mark}} What's the difference between Tweeki & Chameleon?  They are both just MW + Bootstrap
#** {{Agenda presenter|Bernhard}} One difference is Tweeki can identify logged-in users and present different information (special pages, etc.) that non-logged-in users don't see
#* {{Agenda presenter|Ike}} I love Chameleon, I use it often, and have contributed patches in the past
#* {{Agenda presenter|Joroen}} There's another new skin called [https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Skin:Medik Medik]
#* {{Agenda presenter|Ike}} I think there's an advantage to having 2 options, 3 isn't as ideal, law of diminishing returns
#* {{Agenda presenter|Cindy}} Here's a link to different [https://skins.wmflabs.org/#/ MW Skins]
# '''MediaWiki News'''
#* {{Agenda presenter|Gergo}} discussed what's new in MediaWiki
#* TechCom (https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Technical_Committee) has been replaced by the Technical Decision Making Process (https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Technical_Decision_Making_Process). This is a discussion forum with no clear decisionmaking powers but wider participation. They are looking for developers who would represent various parts of the non-WMF developer community. People with +2 can apply / be nominated until February 15. Details here: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Technical_Decision_Making_Process/Draft_Proposal_Community_Representation
#** Giving out +2 was handled by TechCom; there is discussion on how it should be done in the future: https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T273164
#* MediaWiki will be significantly slower on Debian Buster than on previous Debian releases, due to Spectre mitigations. More info: https://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/wikitech-l/2021-February/094230.html
#* New RfCs:
#** Replace the god object WikiPage with a value object: PageIdentity https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T208776
#** Factor out authorization-related functionality from the god object User to a new interface, Authority (for now still implemented via User) https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T231930
#* New library / MediaWiki feature: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Shellbox - updates Shell/ShellCommand classes to let you define the inputs and outputs for shell commands, and then execute those shell commands over a web service to limit the effect of vulnerabilities in external tools.
#* Older RfCs accepted:
#** Drop support for MediaWiki upgrades from versions before the last two LTS releases https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T259771
#** Various changes to the stable interface policy https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T268326
#* Documentation on documentation was expanded (as part of Google's Season of the Docs): https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Documentation
#* You can apply to mentor Outreachy or Google Summer of Code participants: https://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/wikitech-l/2021-January/094199.html
