Hi,
I've been trying to do reviews informally but been unsuccessful so far. I would like
to request all people who are well into reviews to create some wiki pages that give a
little more detailed information about how to perform each check. It would really help
novices.
Regards,
Sourav

Sourav,
Reviewing implies matching the package against the current guidelines. I
use Kevin's template here:

Quite a few people now use the fedora-review tool. To each his own :)

But Sourav's question was to understand how to check things.
fedora-review is an awesome tool (I use it regularly, don't get me
wrong), but that won't help him understand how fedora-review checks the
things it checks.
For example, if you don't know what "package does not contain static
binaries" mean, it won't help you a lot that fedora-review can check for
that.
Sourav, here's an idea. Following the long tradition of the Fedora
Project being a community of contribution, how about you write the wiki
pages you think would be useful? :)
In the process, you will actually learn how to perform these checks you
are wondering about, and you will create a useful resource for future
contributors.
Does that sound like something you can do?
Of course, if you start it and feel lost, don't hesitate to ask specific
questions on the points you're blocking on. ;)
Cheers,

Hi,
Yea, definitely I could do that. I can write what the checks mean as I understand each and
every check(I still have no clue about many of them). But its gonna take time I guess. So
if someone also wants to help out writing a new wiki you are more than welcome. :)
Regards,
Sourav
