I have nothing against starting from a known base if there is something that meets a majority of our needs and can be easily enhanced. With that said, I would not feel that Phabricator would fit into that. It is not bad at what it does, but happens to be a very odd PHP app. From my experience with PHP (which is vast), server side applications that do any functionality that is beyond being just a web app tend to have poor code bases and very strange hacks to get around the fastcgi or mod_php sandbox that PHP runs in. I have been looking at a lot of things that all are code review related and also looked at review board as suggested earlier. All have elements that I like and do not like and none of them meet the needs of the OpenStack project completely. Personally I feel that making an attempt at meeting our needs while leveraging external libraries is good idea, and using things that applications like review board use and some of the libraries they use is a good starting point. - Philip Schwartz _______________________________________________ OpenStack-Infra mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstack.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openstack-infra
