Is this someone with a lot of MediaWiki experience? If not, how are they supposed to review code? I'd think it would be much more sound to ask a couple of existing employees to pitch in instead, spending part of their time reviewing and part of it coding. I can think of a couple of people who are qualified enough. It doesn't make a lot of sense to have someone who only reviews and doesn't code, unless they've already done so much coding that they're very familiar with the codebase and coding conventions anyway. I also wonder how the review process could be more transparent, since it's already completely public and open for anyone to join in (and plenty of random non-developers do join in). _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
