Architecture Summit schedule published
The proposed schedule for the MediaWiki Architecture Summit (see previous Signpost coverage) has been published. The two main plenary sessions will be about HTML templating, and Service-oriented architecture.
Not to be confused with wikitext templates, the HTML templating cluster discusses creating a framework for the generation of user interface elements:
- HTML templating library, submitted by Kaldari, proposes using a template system that can be used in both the PHP backend and via JavaScript for client-side usage.
- MVC framework, submitted by Owyn, discusses the MVC framework Wikia wrote for templating, called Nirvana.
- OutputPage refactor, also submitted by Owyn, discusses the changes Wikia has made in their fork of the OutputPage class, which controls the generation of the HTML needed for viewing a page.
