[theme-reviewers] Featured Themes Questions

[Philip M. Hofer (Frumph)]

I like the idea that you and pross would 'try out' the reviewers, *anyone* can post a review, but just not flag it as approved / declined, that would be up to you two to handle those new reviewers, if they work out, then you can put them on the main list of people who have the privledge to approve/decline

The only thing that i'm seeing that would be situational would problematic is you and pross *finding* those tickets that the management team need to click accept/decline on if it's a new reviewer.   If I understand what Otto and Nacin is saying then your current team which you trust in being able to review would have the ability still to accept/decline, it's just the new reviewers that will not (and other stray random people that accept tickets).

I think thats what i'm getting out of this conversation, .. I find that to be a good logical idea to handle certain situations that have arisen.

  I would be fine with creating a "formal" Theme Review Team "group" and would suggest Simon and I as the ones to "act as management" for the group to start, as long as we are able to add additional "managers" to help out if or when the need arises. I see it as a natural progression to our current access privileges in this case.

  If this allows us to better manage and make improvements to the process while still keeping things reasonably open for the general community to continue their involvement then I am all for it!

  I know I would definitely want any reviewer to still be able to review any theme/ticket they choose if we continue with this idea  ...

  ... but, quick question in this regard, if we see "problematic" reviewers would we be able to address them if they are persistent? Restrict their access/privileges/etc. it's not something I would want to do, but something that could be time-sensitive; and, it also must be reversible!

    Now, as nacin said, if you want to formalize a working reviewer group,
    we can do that. We'd need somebody (or group of somebody's) to act as
    management (cause it ain't gonna be me!) and we'd give them the power
    to modify the users in the group. We'd make a "reviewer" group and
    give them the power to change the ticket resolutions and assign/accept
    tickets and such. I suspect that we don't want some management team
    explicitly assigning tickets to reviewers, so any reviewer would be
    able to accept any ticket. We'd just leave that step of the normal
    process out...
