cr.opensolaris.org now live, exits beta
On Thursday I posted this announcement to opensolaris-announce, which notes that I have taken cr.opensolaris.org out of beta status. Please take a look, use, and enjoy...
I am pleased to announce that cr.opensolaris.org, the OpenSolaris Code Review site, is now officially part of the opensolaris.org infrastructure. I encourage everyone in the community to use it. In the March 2007 community priorities poll, the community declared: ... #3 Deploy a public code review facility on opensolaris.org ... cr.opensolaris.org was designed to meet that goal. It has been in Beta test for some time, and after some final tweaking[1] it is now ready for production. You will need an SSH key linked to your account in order to use it. For more information on SSH keys, see http://opensolaris.org/os/project/website/ssh_instructions/. Once you have a registered key, see http://cr.opensolaris.org for information about how to gain access to this system. We request that users review the terms of service before using it. Problems can be reported to website-discuss at opensolaris dot org. Finally, if you would like to help out with the coding/maintenance of this site, please visit the site and read the "Call for Help" section. Thanks Dan Price [1]: Specifically, concerns about who may access the system have been resolved.

Hi Dan,
briefly popped over there. I dont like going to mailing lists to give simple "feedback".
And since there is no "feedback" form, i thought i'd add a note here :-)
the front page says it is for "code review". It would be enlightning to have a little more on there, to clarify whether this is supposed to be a "general case community review", or part of the "sponsor" program between sun-internal and sun-external folks, or.... ?

It's for posting code reviews of change-- that could be for a project such as OpenGrok hosted at opensolaris.org, or for a change targetted at OS/Net, or Xorg integration, or whatever. It could conceivably even be for posting a mockup of a web page if it was related to the opensolaris community. There is no workflow meant to be implied, and it is open to all community members.

Wow, after hosting my webrevs on a server which belongs to a friend it is certainly refreshing being able to copy html files to cr.opensolaris.org without having the contributor label. Kudos to the people who made that rational decision and opened the site to all OpenSolaris members.
