Structure
The basic structure of the architecture summit would be:
 * Put out a call for RFCs for badly needed architectural changes.
 * Cherry pick the most important RFCs for discussion resolution
 * Spend a reasonable amount of time discussing each RFC, attempting to come to consensus about acceptance of the work, or at least about next steps.

Additionally, we may spend a portion of the meeting discussing the central architecture document itself, depending on its state come January.

Your feedback about the scope, goals and schedule of the summit are welcome on |the discussion page.

Attending
This is an invitation-only event. The target audience are mainly project maintainers and other developers involved in Requests for Comment and, in general, the future evolution of MediaWiki and related software components. All participants must specify their current involvement in the MediaWiki project, the RFC(s) that are promoting and the main future topics they want to discuss.
