We should probably start calling this the TechCom Radar. Are there other places that we
need to do “rebranding” once we are ready?

Hi all!
Here are the minutes from this week's ArchCom meeting. You can also find the
minutes at <https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Architecture_committee/2017-06-07>.
See also the ArchCom status page at
<https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Architecture_committee/Status> and the RFC board
<https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/tag/mediawiki-rfcs/>.
Here are the minutes, for your convenience:
* New RFC: “Move most of MediaWiki within a /core folder”
https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T167038 and “Make MediaWiki Core a Dependency
of MediaWiki”
https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T166956. The initial reaction
from ArchCom after very brief review was: “sounds scary, why do we need this?”.
* Kevin Smith to take on a more active role in RFC discussions and other ArchCom
related processes.
* Discussion is ongoing on the charter proposal
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Architecture_committee/Charter
* The RFC for adding an index on rc_this_oldid is entering the last week of the
last call period
https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T139012
* RFC discussion next week: “Reading List”
https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T164990. A brief discussion by ArchCom
revealed that this is distinct from the idea of multiple watchlists since it’s
cross-wiki, and is less complex than cross-wiki watchlist(s) because no
notifications or feeds are needed. As always, the discussion will take place in
the IRC channel #wikimedia-office on Wednesday 21:00 UTC (2pm PDT, 23:00 CEST).
