to provide the biggest impact to the community._

## Node refactoring

 * [@derekherman](https://profiles.wordpress.org/derekherman/) updated Status schema
   to allow [Status UI](https://staging.wptide.org/docs/status/) to be sortable,
   will drop DB and rerun sync server after tweaking logic and iterating to resolve
   failed jobs
 * [@antpb](https://profiles.wordpress.org/antpb/) continuing to refactor [PHP Compatability Checker plugin](https://wordpress.org/plugins/php-compatibility-checker/),
   may need small iterations on Tide schema/etc. to best align to pluginPlugin A
   plugin is a piece of software containing a group of functions that can be added

   org Plugin Directory [https://wordpress.org/plugins/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/)
   or can be cost-based plugin from a third-party.
 * [@jeffpaul](https://profiles.wordpress.org/jeffpaul/) ran through local setup,
   focused on getting docs running and not full scale Tide, small PR to adjust Staging
   Docs, considering another PR to more obviously separate docs vs. complete Tide
   local setup
 * [@derekherman](https://profiles.wordpress.org/derekherman/) to update architecture
   diagram to match new Node setup
 * Current Tide version in Production using Golang costs ~$600/month, last month
   Tide version in Staging using Node cost $2.66 and has cost a total of $6.64 since
   October
 * **_If you have time, please try out the [updated Tide local setup using Node](https://staging.wptide.org/)
   and call out any issues you see… thanks!_**

## Next meeting

**_Note the change below to April 6th due to Spring Break schedules, when normally
we’d meet on March 30th._**

The next meeting, a 30-minute Tide status update and open floor discussion, will
take place on [April 6, 2021 at 18:00 UTC](https://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedtime.html?iso=20210406T1800)

   is available at https://github.com/wptide/wptide.org and the respective documentation
   is at https://staging.wptide.org/
 * Ideal steps are to test Tide on [Staging](https://staging.wptide.org/) and for

## Node refactoring

 * [@ivankk](https://profiles.wordpress.org/ivankk/) crafted APIAPI An API or Application
   Programming Interface is a software intermediary that allows programs to interact
   with each other and share data in limited, clearly defined ways. spec
 * [@derekherman](https://profiles.wordpress.org/derekherman/) shared that the rebuild
   on Node past couple of months will make code more approachable compared to Golang
   version
 * [@derekherman](https://profiles.wordpress.org/derekherman/) aiming to share code
   publicly in coming weeks, Staging API functioning, aiming for stable release 
   in January and then deprecate old repo versions
 * [@derekherman](https://profiles.wordpress.org/derekherman/) noted that plan is
   to work with WP Engine for new version of Tide as data source to support [PHP Compatibility Checker](https://wordpress.org/plugins/php-compatibility-checker/)
   pluginPlugin A plugin is a piece of software containing a group of functions 
   that can be added to a WordPress website. They can extend functionality or add
   new features to your WordPress websites. WordPress plugins are written in the
   PHP programming language and integrate seamlessly with WordPress. These can be
   free in the WordPress.org Plugin Directory [https://wordpress.org/plugins/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/)
   or can be cost-based plugin from a third-party.
 * The new codebase leverages Firebase hosting, Cloud Functions, Cloud Run, Pub/
   Sub, and Datastore along with the OpenAPI Specification for our API and Vuepress
   for the docs. Assumption is it will cost much less to maintain and be a lot easier
   to contribute to.
 * Main help once the new repos and Staging URLs are shared will be on testing and
   helping update docs

## Tide Goals

 * Options to consider post-PHP Compat work are:
    - Displaying Tide audit results on [WP.org](http://wp.org/) plugin/theme pages
    - Displaying Tide audit results (immediate and historical) in a private view
      for plugin/theme developers
    - Ability to editorially include compatible PHP versions for plugins/themes 
      that include backcompat code
    - Assist plugin/theme review team review processes via automated code reviews
    - CI bot / GitHubGitHub GitHub is a website that offers online implementation
      of git repositories that can easily be shared, copied and modified by other
      developers. Public repositories are free to host, private repositories require
      a paid subscription. GitHub introduced the concept of the ‘pull request’ where
      code changes done in branches by contributors can be reviewed and discussed
      before being merged by the repository owner. [https://github.com/](https://github.com/)
      Action tied to WPCSWordPress Community Support A public benefit corporation
      and a subsidiary of the WordPress Foundation, [established](https://wordpressfoundation.org/news/2016/introducing-wordpress-community-support-a-public-benefit-subsidiary/)
      in 2016. / Theme Review Team ruleset for plugin/theme developers to integrate
      to GitHub repos & get feedback earlier in their development process
 * [@jeffpaul](https://profiles.wordpress.org/jeffpaul/) likes idea of helping out
   plugin/theme review teams if Tide can align to their goals/problems to solve
 * [@jeffpaul](https://profiles.wordpress.org/jeffpaul/) also likes idea of showing
   warnings in WP Admin add plugin/theme screens if users site _may not_ be compatible
   based on PHP Compat Tide has identified for a plugin/theme
 * **Will look to identify Tide’s goal(s) / focus(es) in future Tidechat, but please

   that allows programs to interact with each other and share data in limited, clearly
   defined ways. definition using [OpenAPI spec v3](https://swagger.io/specification/),
   aiming for update in next couple of weeks
 * Goal is to switch from Golang to JS to make it easier to contribute to and more
   approachable for the community
 * Plans to integrate with [PHP Compat Checker plugin](https://wordpress.org/plugins/php-compatibility-checker/)
   as the main consumer of the API
 * _Discussion on migrating data from current schema to new, decided easier to just
   re-audit on new Node.js platform so data matches schema but can keep Golang schema
   and data around for visualizations if desired_
 * Will eventually need to create a new Sync Server and decide how much data to 
   initialize into the new system

## Tide rewrite

 * [@derekherman](https://profiles.wordpress.org/derekherman/) and team at XWP working
   on Node package that generates Serverless APIAPI An API or Application Programming
   Interface is a software intermediary that allows programs to interact with each
   other and share data in limited, clearly defined ways.’s from an [OpenAPI Specification v3 (OASv3) document](https://swagger.io/specification/)
   that could be foundation of Tide rewrite
 * [@derekherman](https://profiles.wordpress.org/derekherman/): Node rewrite will
   make Tide easier to maintain and simplify the architecture
 * While XWP works to complete the Node package, the Tide community will need to
   define the Tide API spec in the OASv3 format (see [wptide#204](https://github.com/wptide/wptide/issues/204))

## Tide goals

 * _Discussion then shifted to goals of Tide and what’s currently desired compared
   to what was originally built_
 * Some items that came up were:
    - Displaying Tide audit results on WP.org pluginPlugin A plugin is a piece of
      software containing a group of functions that can be added to a WordPress 
      website. They can extend functionality or add new features to your WordPress
      websites. WordPress plugins are written in the PHP programming language and
      integrate seamlessly with WordPress. These can be free in the WordPress.org
      Plugin Directory [https://wordpress.org/plugins/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/)
      or can be cost-based plugin from a third-party./theme pages
    - Displaying Tide audit results (immediate and historical) in a private view
      for plugin/theme developers
    - Ability to editorially include compatible PHP versions for plugins/themes 
      that include backcompat code
    - Assist plugin/theme review team review processes via automated code reviews
    - CI bot / GitHubGitHub GitHub is a website that offers online implementation
      of git repositories that can easily be shared, copied and modified by other
      developers. Public repositories are free to host, private repositories require
      a paid subscription. GitHub introduced the concept of the ‘pull request’ where
      code changes done in branches by contributors can be reviewed and discussed
      before being merged by the repository owner. [https://github.com/](https://github.com/)
      Action tied to WPCSWordPress Community Support A public benefit corporation
      and a subsidiary of the WordPress Foundation, [established](https://wordpressfoundation.org/news/2016/introducing-wordpress-community-support-a-public-benefit-subsidiary/)
      in 2016. / Theme Review Team ruleset for plugin/theme developers to integrate
      to GitHub repos & get feedback earlier in their development process
 * **Please comment on this post or come to the next Tide meeting with any other
   problems you’d love to see Tide help with or other goals you’d like to see Tide
   achieve.**
 * We’ll review all options for Tide in our next meeting to work towards a confirmed
   focus for the team and align with a Node rewrite/OASv3 spec
