Technical Council Sub Groups Updates

All

Quick updates only.  If we can't find volunteers for groups, we'll need to add the topic to our backlog and address it during dedicated discussion sessions.

Distributed vs Centralized Configuration - Florian Gleixner - no new updates, RFC is in progress

Architecture Subgroup - Jenn Colt  - Tri council meeting 1PM on Wednesday(08.11.2023). Craig McNally - this subgroup is not going anywhere for now so it's better to close it now and reopen it when we have something more conclusive.

Communicating Breaking Changes - Ankita Sen - No updates, no more volunteers, will pass on the participation message in a few other slack channels, if no response comes we can decide whether to have the group with just Zak Burke and I or push it and have a dedicated discussion on it.

RFC Process Improvements:

  • /wiki/spaces/~cmcnally/pages/3834098
    • Those that attended refined this a bit and think it's ready to put into action.  We lacked a quorum, so we deferred making a formal decision until today (e.g. via lazy consensus or vote)

Time PermittingDev Documentation VisibilityAll

Previous Notes:

Marc Johnson raised a point regarding the maintenance of the dev.folio.org website. He mentioned that in the early days of Folio, this website was managed by a small group of individuals who were working on the project. However, with the project's growth, keeping the site up to date has become a challenge. Marc suggested that the community should collectively decide whether to continue maintaining the website or explore alternative platforms for sharing development information, as there are differing preferences regarding resources such as the wiki. He also observed that the dev.folio.org site is not updated frequently due to the effort involved.

  • RFCs are not searchable from the wiki or dev site.  
  • DRs help, but may not be applicable or enough in some cases.
    Craig McNally proposed the use of Decision Records in the RFC process, emphasizing their role in formalizing decisions and creating a wiki presence, especially for handling breaking changes. Maccabee Levine  supported this.
  • ...

Craig McNally and Marc Johnson  discussed the need for a central reference and documentation hub for Folio developers. Marc raised this topic, which had also been mentioned in the "Things Folio Can Do Better" discussion. He proposed creating a developer index on the wiki to guide developers, despite the potential complexity of the task. Craig supported the idea, highlighting the challenges of finding information and improvements in GitHub search. Concluded with plans to revisit the topic in future discussions.
