Re: pull request reviews

 

Hi all,

Leonardo, thanks for bringing this topic to debate. This has been said
another times, that we must encourage people to review things, and I think
we are in the way, but dirty jobs like the ones we are doing now (migration
+ PEP8) it's very difficult to get them reviewed. In last spanish OpenERP
days (they were OpenERP yet ;) ), I convince a lot of people to start
contributing (you can see contributions or reviews from Avanzosc or
FactorLibre), but there's still a lot to do.

What Leonardo says can be a start. When we "stabilize" all the migration,
translations and so on, my next step will be to publish on Odoo Spain site
information in spanish on how to collaborate. I hope this serves to avoid
these problems.

Regards.
