Meeting notes for MediaWiki "Products" (Project Canasta) Discussion (Wed Jan 06 16:00-17:00 UTC 2020)

Yaron
- What is the best Day/Time for these meetings? Is this Day (Wednesday) and Time (16:00 UTC / 08:00 PST / 11:00 EST / 17:00 CET) work OK for everyone?
  - This time is perfect for me Lex
  - Later in the day is better for me if I'm going to attend Ike
  - I can support earlier or later Bryan
Yaron
- Does anyone have an issue with the name, Project Canasta
- As a reminder, it's just the code name for the project to work on this effort
- No objection recorded
Yaron
- The goal is to make a downloadable thing that allows you to quickly set-up and get a running wiki
- Contenders seem to be a Docker based approach or an Ansible based approach
Lex
- I use both in my setup for my virtual machine
- I use Docker, then wrap everything up in a zip (see 2nd image below)
Rich
- I thought Docker was a "single file deploy"
- I think it's better to work on something existing (like Meza)
Lex
- Docker can create any "level" at your discretion, the whole kitchen or per appliance
- I was an early supporter of the Meza project (coined the term "Flock to Meza"), but it's too rigid for my goals
Rich
- What you're describing sounds a lot like Meza, just type meza deploy and sit back
Lex
- Docker is a process wrapper (see DataAspects System Builder above)
Yaron
- Meza doesn't seem to be maintained anymore
Rich
- Support for 1.35 is being worked on now
- https://github.com/enterprisemediawiki/meza/tree/35.x
- Element Meza room

Three main parts to Project Canasta:
- Platform (Meza, Sunflower Distribution, Docker approach, some combination, something entirely new)
- Transfer (PX, Wikibase method, MABS, other)
- Content (Actual Product/Package/Module/etc.)
