Spend roughly 20 minutes ensuring Architecture committee/Status is up-to-date. Checklist of the questions we should answer:

  • Who is chairing the upcoming IRC meeting? E259
    • What should be the central question: spec or archiving?  “should invest in a spec?” is the question
    • What should be the objective of a spec?
    • Should we keep the syntax stable, or should we transform it?
    • What role should the parser tests play?
    • Should a spec center on HTML or on Wikitext? If we use HTML, what is missing in the Parsoid DOM spec?
    • Timo will chair
