Question 1

How to submit a design proposal to Magento architecture?

Accepted Answer

Fork the repository, use the provided design document template to create a proposal, and submit a pull request for discussion. Share the PR with the community and await feedback from assigned architects, following the workflow outlined in the README.

Question 2

What's the difference between Magento architecture repo and the main codebase?

Accepted Answer

The architecture repo is for discussing design proposals and architectural concepts through PRs, while the main codebase is for actual implementation. Approved proposals here don't guarantee code changes, as noted in the README disclaimer.

Question 3

How long does it take to get feedback on a Magento design document?

Accepted Answer

For existing projects, reviewers have a minimum of 2 business days for feedback, but proposals without immediate projects have no guaranteed due date. The process depends on agreement among participants and architect approval, per the review requirements.

Question 4

Can community members really influence Magento 2 architecture?

Accepted Answer

Yes, community members can fork the repo, submit PRs, and provide feedback. However, the README states contributions are expected mostly from core engineers, and final approval rests with Magento architects, so influence may be limited.

Question 5

What happens after a proposal is merged in the Magento architecture repository?

Accepted Answer

Merged proposals are considered approved for discussion, but implementation is out of scope. If issues arise during implementation, a new PR can be opened to update the document, as mentioned in the workflow notes.

Question 6

Magento architecture discussions vs direct code contributions on GitHub?

Accepted Answer

Architecture discussions focus on high-level design documents and proposals with a structured review process, while direct code contributions might address specific bugs or features in the codebase. The architecture repo is more about ideation than execution.
