Talk:Architecture guidelines

Removal notes

 * Removed the two sections about encouraging the use of commercial IDEs. To the extent that it is relevant to an architecture discussion, I think I am happy to veto it.
 * Removed the section on naming, since it is dealt with in the style guide, and also the duplicate comment about MWCryptRand naming.
 * Removed near-empty redundant section "Role of the architects in the code review process"

What is MediaWiki?
Before embarking on architecture guidelines and considering a dramatic change to the RFC process, I think it would be helpful to define what MediaWiki is. Has that be done anywhere? If so, where? If not, wouldn't that be a sensible starting point? --MZMcBride (talk) 22:21, 26 May 2013 (UTC)


 * I didn't realise that was subject to debate. -- Tim Starling (talk) 01:11, 31 May 2013 (UTC)

Where are we going?
One thing I'd like to see come out of this would be a 10000-foot overview document to just show what we'd want the class structure in core to look like. E.g. "We have Title, and X, Y, and Z service classes. And User and X, Y, and Z service classes. And then we have MovePageControllerThing, etc.". Anomie (talk) 17:23, 29 May 2013 (UTC)
