Hosting Team Tasks and Check-in

@pfefferle brought up the issue #65 on the Test Reporter repo. There is already a proposed way to send/store the data and the next step was to figure out how to display it. An idea was to bring it to the design team and ask them for help on how to display multiple reports per bot/host.

@mikeschroder was working on #36455 (Invalidate files in opcode cacheCache A cache is a component that stores data so that future requests for that data can be served faster; the data stored in a cache might be the result of an earlier computation or a copy of data stored elsewhere. after pluginPlugin A plugin is a piece of software containing a group of functions that can be added to a WordPress website.

Open Floor

@Crixu brought up the question about the PHPPHP PHP (PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor) is a general-purpose scripting language especially suited to web development. PHP code is usually processed on a web server by a PHP interpreter. On a web server, the result of the interpreted and executed PHP code would form the whole or part of an HTTP response. Memory limit requirements and recommendations. See issue #45 on the handbook repo. As requirements change from website to website @mazeheld mentioned there can’t be an official recommendation while @mikeschroder is the opinion that we should give a recommendation with the remark that the requirement changes the more plugins and themes are installed and used. @mikeschroder suggested checking with hosts to get their average memory usage for WP so we might get at least a feeling about the consumption.

Next Meeting

The next meetings will be in the #hosting-community channel on Wednesday, July 01, 2020 at 0900 UTC and Wednesday, June 01, 2020 at 1800 UTC. Hope to see you then!
