The code review working group has been discussing ideas for how to encourage more / better code reviews for Wikimedia code.
One idea that we are exploring[1] is something we tried previously which was called "Code review office hours." This was a weekly scheduled IRC meeting attended by code reviewers. The previous incarnation was a minor success but eventually interest petered out and we canceled the scheduled meetings. So in bringing back the code review meetings, we want to try something a bit different. A couple of ideas proposed so far: * Have more focused meetings around specific parts of the code base or specific features. * Rebrand as "Patch triage" and focus more on an initial code review/feedback on new patches rather than focusing on merging as we did previously. I'm writing this to raise awareness and encourage participation, as well as feedback about the current proposals. We won't be successful without participation from code reviewers as well as code contributors so your feedback and participation are important and appreciated. If this interests you, please join the discussion on the Phabricator taskl[1]. 1.
