ENCODE code review process

ENCODE Wranglers

NOTE that sometimes ENCODE Developers perform wrangling duties -- when they do, the first two rules apply to them as well.

• When reviewing a wrangler's check-ins, you must thoroughly check: .daf, scripts (perl, python, etc.)
• When reviewing a wrangler's check-ins, for the sake of consistency and spreading general knowledge about the project, you should lightly check html, configuration and notes files such as: .ra, notes, .txt, .html
• Until further notice, Kate will review wrangler's code (.c) check-ins.

ENCODE Developers

• When reviewing an ENCODE developer's check-ins, don't gloss over ENCODE pipeline edits.

ENCODE QAers

NOTE that as ENOCDE QAers do the actual QA of the tracks they will, by default, check all other changes that have been made by any ENCODEr to .ra and .html files.

• ENCODE QAers will review all check-ins (.html, .ra, etc) *except* edits to cv.ra.

cv.ra file

• Melissa will review all cv.ra commits from the previous week, on the alpha version.
• In separate processing, Melissa will be periodically copying changes from alpha to beta.
• Katrina will review Melissa's cv.ra commits from the previous week, on beta.
• When Katrina finds issues, Melissa will address the issues both on alpha and beta.
