Phoronix: LLVM Turns To Phabricator As New Review Option

The LLVM project has announced that they will be turning to Facebook's "Phabricator" project for handling code review...

I recommend people go to and read the Phabricator homepage :-)

I like their sense of humor.

I also like the direction that the tools are heading. I've used Gerrit before, but I'm always open to new options.

From the article:

"Phabricator can be used not only for code review but also for code review..."

So it can be used for code review. Nice!

Sigh.

"The LLVM Community" has done no such thing. Some folks at Google _suggested_ it. There has been zero buy-in from the community as a whole, only a few folks here and there interested in giving it a try. Maybe the community will accept it, maybe it won't, but in no way is that even remotely decided at this point.

<sarcasm>Good job on doing more than just reading the title of a mailing list message, Michael.</sarcasm>

I've visited its homepage. You need to have an account just to view examples. Facebook likes walled gardens, doesn't it? If anything using Phabricator will hurt an open source community, be it LLVM or any other.
