==Notes==
# '''What's new in MediaWiki''' (Cindy) discussed what's coming in MediaWiki based off the [https://etherpad.wikimedia.org/p/mwstake-2020-07 notes] prepared by Gergo (and reposted to mw.org [https://mwstake.org/mwstake/wiki/Blog_Post:54 here])
#* 1.35 (out in a few weeks) will be the last release to support Internet Explorer (T248061)
#* Uncached VisualEditor w/ Parsoid/PHP (no JS, no RESTBase) for MW 1.35 LTS (T248343)
#* SkinTemplateOutputPageBeforeExec and a number of other hooks are  being deprecated (T60137). 
#** See https://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/wikitech-l/2020-June/093556.html
#** See https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/User:Jdlrobson/Skins_for_extension_developers
#* Extensions can now provide alternative database backends (instead of the core MySQL, Postgres etc): https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T226857
#* Gerrit updated to version 3. You can now create and edit patches via the web interface.
#** But apparently it will be replaced by GitLab next year: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Release_Engineering_Team/GitLab
#** GitLab is like a github, hosted elsewhere, e.g. WMF. It probably necessitates a switch from Jenkins to Argo.
#* (Peter) Is it extraordinarily difficult to support IE?  I'm surprised.  In the fed govt many of us are supposed to use IE for some things and Edge has been unusable I'm told
# '''MediaWiki Logo change proposal'''
#* https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Project:Proposal_for_changing_logo_of_MediaWiki,_2020
# '''Wikimedia re-branding'''
#* Survey and open letter from community
#** https://wikimedia.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_9G2dN7P0T7gPqpD
#** https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Community_open_letter_on_renaming
#* Law of Triviality https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Law_of_triviality
#* (Peter) I reviewed it and asked to hold until more information was captured
# '''Abstract Wikipedia'''
#* Approved by the Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustee and Denny Vrandečić  is joining the Foundation
#* It looks like this will be a place to put Wikipedia pages that automatically translate into many languages. The pages will have some kind of sentences that refer to Wikidata items.
#* (Mark) It may be too ambitious
#** https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Abstract_Wikipedia/July_2020_announcement (Announcement)
#** https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikilambda (Info)
#** https://arxiv.org/abs/2004.04733 (White Paper)
#** https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23714875 (Hacker News with some commentary)
# '''Page Exchange'''
#* (Ike) Explained the extension use and development
#* https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Page_Exchange
#* (Cindy) Does PageExchange resolve https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T177496?
# '''MediaWiki blog'''
#* (Richard) MediaWiki blog will be at https://mediawiki.blog   (password protected)
#* (Richard) The blog is ready to go but needs some help and final decision over the domain (mediawiki.blog)
#* (Richard) Areas help is requested:
#** Articles
#** Expand "What's New"
#** "About us", for example a page on MWStake
#** Privacy law acceptable?  It's written based on GDPR
#*** (Bryan) If it's based on GDPR, it's likely ok for the rest of the world
#* Should Board Members have their affiliation listed? (i.e. Board member X works for company Y)
#* Will need articles - focused on mediawiki development?  not enterprise wikis it seems
