And we are reviewing more than before. It's still a problem though. More people should review, especially people who know the specs. For events such as TTWF it is quite crucial to have people reviewing tests just as they come in. It can be the present experts doing it in GitHub at the place, or people contributing remotely. I also think it would be very helpful if some of the best people reviewed others' tests at the event. We had an automatic pull request viewing system before, that was synced to w3c-test.org, -- that seems to currently be down (due to changes?). Having pr-<number>.w3c-test.org would be quite cool. I'd like to see something like that turn up again. I remember seeing many reviews about syncing and server setup, so I hope that's what those reviews were for. If a group want to work in the same repo, it can be done by working on the same branch. Another thing is of course that Git being a distributed system, - you could push the commits anywhere, or do something more simple like pulling all the people's branches into a third party server. But all of these things are not really tied to the wpt repo, it's more about server setup. I'm unsure about what the last best practices were, but Rebecca Hauck ought to know. :) A good place to see outstanding pull requests is GitHub: https://github.com/w3c/web-platform-tests/pulls Or the third party review system Critic (it's nicer to use for advanced reviewing, but not at all required): https://critic.hoppipolla.co.uk/dashboard -- Odin Hørthe Omdal odinho@opera.com
