Minutes

 * Status update / round table:
 * Tim: Working on tidy replacement
 * Gabriel: Thumb API (T66214), ServiceWorker experiments. Consider going back to sending status emails.
 * Daniel: Pushing for a DB scaling session at the DevSummit
 * Many stale tickets on the RFC board (tag/mediawiki-rfcs). Should revise process, maybe just drop stale RFCs from the board.
 * Need to revive the RFC shepherding process; Shepherding board isn't being used (project/board/1892/).
 * RFCs that had Robla as shepherd should go to needs-shepherd mode.
 * Consider recruiting a new ArchCom member
 * Consider splitting discussion about cross-wiki templates and Lua modules from the Shadow Namespaces RFC.
 * Tim to chair today's IRC meeting (Thumbnail API)
 * We will use next week's (November 16th) IRC meeting for an open triage session. ArchCom members should pick a few of their favorites to start the discussion.
 * ArchCom to look through DevSummit proposals, prioritize them (how? ArchCom tag, or maybe tokens...)
 * ArchCom should also help to avoid scheduling conflicts
