  • Full TDF Feedback responses here
  • Next steps:
    • Figure out if what you wrote was clear - any feedback that points things out that we should fix? The problem statement will be the umbrella behind the statements. Next step is the decision record.
      • Make corrections, then contact the people who gave feedback
        • Bryan’s thoughts re: layman’s terminology
        • Thiemo re: “on-wiki storage” - Post clarification around localstorage in the phab ticket?
        • James: volunteer usage?
      • Setup the workgroup - what teams need to be there - and brainstorm together
        • Try to come into this without a solution in mind - the point is to get to a decision record– describes what you chose and what you considered
    • See which teams told you they should be participating / need to be involved. Delve deeper: for those who said they would participate, create your own RACI; also: who is not there that should be?
      • Performance - initially indicated no
      • Other organizational changes happening - we should wait a week ; things might change in the next few weeks
      • Design Systems - ResourceLoader / SSR
      • Which teams said yes:
        • Developer Advocacy
        • Language Engineering
        • WMDE Technical Wishes
        • Product Analytics
        • Security
      • Not present but maybe should be:
        • Performance
        • SRE Data Persistence
        • Roan / maybe DST?
        • Editing?
  • Cross-departmental, and cross-team
    • Did things appear that we forgot about?
      • Transition from anonymous -> logged in (we haven’t thought about this re:limited width). IP Masking will make this distinction complicated. (timeline is within a year or so, but we should decide on this anyway)
    • Who needs to be in the room?
      • We want to avoid people who should be in the room not being there later
      • There are questions about what teams people will be on in a few weeks
  • Maybe we can change the process to focus on concerns / changes we may need?
    • Scope of this proposal
    • Implications of volunteers
    • This is less about the technical solution than the boundaries - this won’t just be used for 3-5 features but open up 6000 features. How to do this is semi-solved, the framing is ore important
    • We should look to define what is and is not in scope for this mechanism:
      • A/B Testing?
      • Volunteer usage?
      • A continuum from Vector-only to literally anything
  • It may be that there is a team we can work with around this - we are essentially building an API

Action items[edit]

  • Today: figure out who needs to be involved
  • By Wednesday this week: Nick/Nat to reach out to the teams we agree about
  • Next week: Moriel can run exercises around boundaries / modeling
