I agree with Tim here, I was thinking the same on this thread. Gerrit
makes it look as if the users really said that, where it's just a
predefined text, and you can't even edit it.

I was thinking something like «Changed state to "Needs to be improved"»,
but that of course is confusing when there are several people involved,
as all of them are taken into account (until someone removes them and
they vanish into the ether).

I'm not sure "fixme" is entire appropiate either :D

A gerrit review rejection (which is what a down vote suggests if it is
unfixable or not fixed) effectively covers both "fixme" and "reverted"
(when compared to how we review SVN).

"fixme" is no different than "Needs improvement" (except stronger, maybe).

I think this will be more confusing. You need some text for
the radio field.

In any case these summaries are not meant to replace a
comment and I've never implied that they should. You
should always take time to explain your review, especially

I couldn't agree more. So far all proposal make implications that sometimes
simply aren't appropriate. Either they leave no room for fixing it ("Don't
submit it"), or are too much foccused on fixing something small, but
implying the overal intention is wanted ("Needs improvement") etc. etc.

Just say what you want to say in a comment, the numbers don't add up and
are only a brief summary (also note that you can submit a different score
at anytime and it will replace your previous score).

Can we just set it to an empty string and let the numbers and hand-written
comment speak for themselves?

That doesn't work well the other terms. If you look at the list, they're
all talking about the change.

- This looks good to me, approved
- Looks good to me, but someone else must approve
- Set code review score to -1
- Do not submit

I disagree, the previous message would sound really bit offensive to
people who submitted the patch, and is nothing motivating for the
volunteers who spend their time trying to help with the project.
Imagine you send a code to open source project in a good faith and get
the reply: I'd be more happy if you didn't put your nose in our code,
because that's exactly how the previous message appeared to me.

I don't really want Gerrit putting words into my mouth regardless of
how nice they sound. There will always be cases where the phrase is

+1 for "There is a problem with this patchset"

(without ", please improve").

I think that keeps it more neutral without saying anything the user doesn't
intend to say. It also keeps free ambiguity in the intention (to be

in a comment) between 'wontfix' and 'fixme'.

I've combined a little bit of everyone's suggestions so far (other than Yoda).

How does "There is a problem with this patchset, please fix" sound?

I agree.  Having 'you' or 'i' makes the message personal when the focus
should remain on the commit itself.

Better as make it even more personal ? :-D

My suggestion is:

  "This patchset needs to be improved"

That sounds positive to me. At least improving something is probably
more of a reward than fixme.

Sometime, we might have a patch which is fine to merge but not perfect
yet, so I guess that case is covered by my suggestion.


A fun one would be:

  "Much to learn you still have...my old padawan."

Would probably make a Yoda job in Jenkins just for that :-D

I support the less personal wording, but "cannot" is more like -2.

-1 is more like "should not".

+1 for There is a problem with this revision.
as it doesn't make use of any personal words like 'you' or 'i'

Maybe even append 'Please fix' to give an action to the sender.

e.g. There is a problem with this revision. Please fix.

[Wikitech-l] I'd prefer that you didn't submit this

2012-03-28 Thread Chad
Hi everyone,

There's been some comments that the phrasing for a -1 vote in
Gerrit ("I'd prefer that you didn't submit this") is kind of personal
and we can do better.

I did some testing and this is totally configurable :) It won't change
for old comments that were already submitted, but we can pick
some nicer wording going forward.

I really don't have any good suggestions for this, so I'm opening
this up to the list for a bit of good old fashioned bikeshedding.

Thanks!

-Chad
