Hi,
yes, it is correct that we decided to host the framework as well as
the reference implementations in a single project to reduce overhead
and to increase collaboration around the code instead of proposing a
separate sub-sub-project for Gerrit. The expectation is that the
reference implementations, TBR (Task-based Reviews), R4E
(Review4Eclipse) and the Gerrit Connector, will drive rapid evolution
of the framework and we want to avoid redundancy as much as possible.
Having all code in one repository and project should make that easier.
Ok, I can see your point
A lot of the discussion happened on the weekly Mylyn calls, Review
calls and in a F2F in Vancouver. This thread on the mailing list has a
short summary: http://dev.eclipse.org/mhonarc/lists/mylyn-dev/msg01016.html
.
The current status of the Gerrit connector is that the code donation
from SonyEricsson was IP approved and can now be found in the git
repository [1]. Note that not all of the dependencies have been
reviewed, yet, but the code is functional.
I would get started by wikifying how to get the status quo up and running
from within Eclipse (let's see if I manage to find that out). Hints welcome :-)
So this could be the starter for a contributors guide.
Is there already a wiki for the reviews project ?
Great to hear that you have approval to work on Gerrit. The next step
would be to do a committer vote as we have done for the other
components.
Everyone who is interested in working on the Gerrit connector, please
send me an email that includes your Bugzilla email address and I'll
initiate the process.
for me that's: matthias dot sohn at sap dot com
I'll try to put a web-page for Gerrit in the next couple of days.
Kilian, Mario, is it okay to edit the main page to reflect the new
project structure?
know if there is one already, otherwise I can create one.
We should also document the proposed architecture and UI workflows
somewhere to make sure we are all on the same page.
I propose to do that on the wiki since that's easier to update than CVS controlled
web pages.
