Revision as of 11:14, 10 April 2008
I don't see a link from the project policy on the k5wiki to code change/integration policy. So I do not know if a code review is necessary and what sort of testing is expected.
- There is not a formalized code review policy. Certainly requesting specific code review as part of the community review of a project would be fine. --SamHartman 12:08, 4 April 2008 (EDT)
Submitting a project for review needs work
The "Submitting a project for review" section indicates the submitter should:
To start the review period :
1. Replace {{project-early}} with {{project-review|end_of_review_date}}
2. Add {{subst:project-vote}} at the bottom of the project page.
3. Send mail to krbdev@mit.edu including:
But after saving the project page after following steps 1 & 2, this text appears on the project page:
An announcement has been sent to krbdev@mit.edu starting a review of this project. That review will conclude on 2008-04-18.
This is confusing as it sounds like step 3 was done automatically by the wiki. If the wiki is sending out notification automatically (and I think it should) then step 3 should be removed.
- The Wiki cannot send out mail. The procedure is correct, but the text on the project page assumes that you actually follow the directions and send the mail. --SamHartman 12:08, 4 April 2008 (EDT)
- I think the wording of the project-review template needs to be changed to avoid the ambiguity. Something like:
The project owner should have sent an announcement to krbdev@mit.edu starting a review of this project. That review will conclude on 2008-04-18.
