''They write the right stuff''. Fast Company. <nowiki>https://www.fastcompany.com/28121/they-write-right-stuff</nowiki></ref> for Fast Company magazine in 1996 about the "on-board shuttle group" that works at the Johnson Space Center in Houston, TX producing some of the most sophisticated and error-free software in the world.
We'll try to focus on some best practices and quality metrics - especially as it relates to MediaWiki.
<br />
== Cliff notes for process at WMF ==
* [[mediawikiwiki:Development_guidelines|Development_guidelines]] provides the big picture of policies (MUST) and guidelines (SHOULD).
* [[mediawikiwiki:Manual:Coding_conventions/PHP|Manual:Coding_conventions/PHP]] covers aspects of how PHP for MediaWiki is coded.
* [[mediawikiwiki:Code_Stewardship|Code Stewardship]] is a model adopted in 2018 by WMF as a layer on top of [[mediawikiwiki:Developers/Maintainers|Developers/Maintainers]]
* [[mediawikiwiki:Manual:Mwdocgen.php|Manual:Mwdocgen.php]] generates the Doxygen output, but the [[mediawikiwiki:Manual:Coding_conventions/PHP#Comments_and_documentation|Manual:Coding_conventions/PHP#Comments_and_documentation]] doesn't mention anything about comments for [[static analysis]]
* '''[[phab:T240307|Hook container with strong types and DI]]''' (solved) is part of a series of architecture shifts, and is an example of diving into the details of the codebase.
* [[mediawikiwiki:API:Client_code/Gold_standard|API:Client_code/Gold_standard]] is somewhat interesting - a series of metrics and principles applied to the API Clients listed at [[mediawikiwiki:API:Client_code|API:Client_code]]
== Code Health - project ==
