ode as coding style I will wait that > someone > wants to review... I agree. Mandatory reviews might work if there is a team of active people working on a project, but if there is only one person with real knowledge of the code, or there is nobody else with much time to spare, who is going to do the review? It is likely to just sit waiting indefinitely. If getting code reviewed is too difficult, the developer may have to give up and abandon the project. Mandatory reviewing could only work if individual projects can decide whether to adopt it or not. -- David Jarvie KAlarm author, KDE developer http://www.astrojar.org.uk/kalarm
