These pages describe processes and guidelines for developing the software that
runs Launchpad. It includes tips for coders and tips for reviewers, as well
as public meeting notes, and anything else that is useful to people actually
writing and reviewing Launchpad code. Start here if you like to get your
hands dirty.

No changes to Launchpad can land without being reviewed and approved by at
least one other person. Our goal is for every Launchpad developer to also be
a reviewer, and to that end we have a mentoring process to initiate new
developers onto the review team. Every "mentat" (new reviewer) is assigned a
mentor (experienced reviewer) to help guide them through the process. Mentats
do the reviews and the mentor reviews the mentat's review. When the mentor
and review team lead agree that the mentat is ready to leave the nest, the
mentat is graduated and becomes a full-fledged reviewer.

The list of reviewers and their on-call schedule is [[ReviewerSchedule||available here]].
All changes to Launchpad need to be reviewed and approved by a reviewer. Most changes should have that reviewer be someone other than the author of the change. Changes made by a reviewer who is confident that the risk of the change being harmful is less than the cost of having it reviewed may be landed without a second reviewers feedback. Our goal is for every Launchpad developer to also be a reviewer, and to that end we have a mentoring process to initiate new
developers onto the review team.

Review

All changes to Launchpad need to be reviewed and approved by a reviewer. Most changes should have that reviewer be someone other than the author of the change. Changes made by a reviewer who is confident that the risk of the change being harmful is less than the cost of having it reviewed may be landed without a second reviewers feedback. Our goal is for every Launchpad developer to also be a reviewer, and to that end we have a mentoring process to initiate new developers onto the review team.

Here are resources we've established to help reviewers:
