Talk:Requests for comment/Third-party components

Logging / Monolog
The "devops sprint" being worked on by the Platform Core is hoping to produce an RFC on a revamp of the logging APIs and functionality in MediaWiki. There may be some synergy with that initiative if the fundamental idea of how best to integrate 3rd party code into the platform can get some attention. --BDavis (WMF) (talk) 03:53, 27 November 2013 (UTC)
 * The Wikimania Scholarship standalone application is using Monolog and will likely produce a udp2log compatible \Monolog\Handler implementation by the time it is released to production. --BDavis (WMF) (talk) 03:57, 27 November 2013 (UTC)

Where it makes sense
If we want to use a third party component, I think there should be justification beyond "its shiny". If we have our own component, that works perfectly well, I see no reason to fix what isn't broken. Bawolff (talk) 02:35, 4 December 2013 (UTC)
