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
• Conclude last week's "final comment period"? Do we have anything that should enter "final comment"?
