I think these three things you name are each very different, and probably must each be tackled by the people who influence them-- echoing Bryan's earlier comment, ON development is not a borg, it's a bunch of people, with different interested, affiliations, and knowledge. For example, you could ask me all you want about the schedule of locked down builds, but I don't know the answer-- so, you and I are peers in ignorance about this topic. So of those three things, I have a comment about only one of them, code reviews: At least some code reviews are being published; for those in the community interested in publishing their reviews and lacking a place to do it, please see http://cr.grommit.com. It'd be interesting to hear from the folks using cr.grommit.com whether they've gotten substantive codereview feedback. If someone would like to help with the web-aspects of cr.grommit.com, we might be able to set up an RSS feed of incoming reviews and subscribe planet.opensolaris.org to that. I would love to work with someone wanting to create that with me. But I don't have the cycles to do the scripting for that myself. I know that the OpenSolaris web team is thinking about what online codereview should look like (such as a "feed" based model so people can see reviews as they are posted), and I've had some conversations with them on this front based on my experience building cr.grommit.com. -dp -- Daniel Price - Solaris Kernel Engineering - [EMAIL PROTECTED] - blogs.sun.com/dp _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list [email protected]
