- [khall] Update JS4 based on the availability of the format method (from Bug 15662)
- [kfischer] 'PERL7: Definitions' - point to Terminology instead and note that terminology in the code should follow the default en GUI terminology?
- [marcelr] Code changes should adhere to naming conventions published elsewhere on the wiki (Patron versus Borrower, etc.)
- Remove/obsolete/archive coding guidelines
- [kfischer] 'PERL12: VERSION [Deprecated as of start of 3.12 release cycle] Each module should have a $VERSION variable to preserve progressive levels of compatibility with dependent code.' A bit confusing - should remaining VERSION variables be removed?
Action from last meeting: Verify if perlcritic complains about missing VERSION and figure out, if we want/can reconfigure it.- [mtompset] perlcritic does not complain about missing $VERSION until -2, but since we only perlcritic to -5, there is no need to keep this.
- [kfischer] 'PERL12: VERSION [Deprecated as of start of 3.12 release cycle] Each module should have a $VERSION variable to preserve progressive levels of compatibility with dependent code.' A bit confusing - should remaining VERSION variables be removed?
- Revamp/restructure coding guidelines page
- [khall] I would like to revamp our guidelines page in the manner of https://make.wordpress.org/core/handbook/best-practices/coding-standards/ I can start a new page for this which can be voted on at a later date if everyone approves of the idea.
- [kfischer] Divide coding guidelines into separate pages, for example: frontend, backend, database, and/or by language
