What happened to review.discourse.org?

AI-generated summary

The discussion addresses the status of review.discourse.org, which was previously a public site for posting GitHub PRs and commits via the Code Review plugin. NateDhaliwal noted that the site is now password-protected and questioned why the official documentation still listed it as public. HAWK and sam explained that the site is now used internally only, as the team’s workflow has shifted to requiring upfront reviews rather than reactive ones. Consequently, they agreed to remove the reference from the website. ella confirmed she had removed the section from the site. When Moin asked about updating the forum topic that also referenced the public site, darkpixlz noted that the topic had been marked as a wiki and edited the outdated information out.

Unless I’m remembering wrongly, wasn’t review.discourse.org where all PRs (and commits?) were posted to (IIRC via the Discourse Github plugin EDIT: via the Code Review plugin)? And wan’t it public? I seem to to recall having visited such a site before.

Now it seems password protected (how is that even done?):

If it’s really meant to private, then perhaps this reference on Discourse integrations | Discourse - Civilized Discussion should be changed?

We only use it internally now. We have an open todo to update that copy – thanks for the reminder.

Thanks for raising the issue on the website. The plugin was a product of the time.

We needed a tool for reactive reviews, these days all our changes require upfront reviews so we have little use for it internally.

We will update the the site not to call it out!

@HAWK @sam Thanks for clarifying!

Thanks for flagging @NateDhaliwal, and appreciate the context, @sam! I’ve taken that section off the site now.

Are there also plans to update the topic here in the forum?

Turns out the topic got made a wiki at some point so I edited it out just now, better late than never :melting_face:
