Notes

The meeting voice transcription is available on the talk page.

1. What's new in MW (Etherpad)
   • Extension Developer RFC - Parsoid & Extensions
   • New Code of Conduct
   • Looking for a maintainer for the Lingo Extension
   • PHP Community Survey
   • SMWCon 2020
   • MediaWiki logo change - Now at round 2
2. GitLab consultation
   • Discussion on mediawiki.org
   • Sam liked the UI for Gerrit
   • Markus I'm on the GitLab consultation group
     • The community (MW) wasn't happy about the speed/notice about the decision to switch, but it does seem like it's happening
     • Only if the council really disapproves will it be blocked.
     • The council is comprised of 10 people, 7 of which are on the WMF.
     • The case has to be strong to prevent moving forward
     • (Cindy) Some outside & within the Foundation liked some of Gerrit's features
     • Since the WMF would become a strategic partner and a high notoriety one, we can push for the opensourcing of some features of GitLab which would be a community win
3. WikiMedia Strategy Recommendation - Overview
   • Gergo pointed this out
   • Bryan I'm interested in helping here. I see two areas we can be involved:
     1. User Experience - Changes here effect all of us. At the least knowing what's coming and proactively helping guide changes to benefit our community.
     2. Manage Internal Knowledge - Many of us have a lot of experience documenting processes and capturing tribal knowledge, this is an area I can "give back" to MediaWiki
4. StructuredNavigation
   • Sam Nguyen presented her new extension StructuredNavigation
   • (HOLD for slide deck)
   • Cindy Offered a suggestion to allow "red links" to work with the extension based on MW:Manual:$wgRegisterInternalExternals
5. MediaWiki Blog
   • Richard The blog is now live here: mediawikiexperts.blog
   • Richard Suggested that Sam could write something (possibly on StructuredNavigation)
