Perhaps. I was the one who tried the first few Review Days... they never really took off. ;( It might have more luck now since we have more developers... > > I think that a much better solution would be to encouroage people > > to exchange reviews, look for a package you find interesting that > > needs a review and offer to review it in exchange for the submitter > > reviewing one of yours. > > This seems to be a good approach and one that IMHO is more important > than the review days.

Something in the wiki might work. Or even just offerering on the fedora-devel irc channel. Or on the mailing list. Or even in bugzilla, just adding a "I would be happy to review this if you could review #xyz" comment. I don't have any submissions in right now, but I would also be happy to be bribed to review packages in exchange for people triaging bugs in bugzilla or other worthwhile project activities. ;) > CU > thl kevin
