Technical debt


 *  temporary solutions have a terrible habit of becoming permanent, around here

In Gerrit/+2, we advise people who get full review rights in our source repository to avoid technical debt.

See Technical debt for a more complete definition of the term. This page attempts to describe existing technical debt in MediaWiki and Wikimedia software that we hope to pay down.

Places to look for things that have been identified as technical debt:
 * Technical-Debt tag in Phabricator
 * Wikimedia Engineering/2015-16 Q1 Goals#Collaboration Team - "Convert all existing uses of LiquidThreads to Flow, where the community is willing"
