About Review Board

Review Board is a web-based code review system that lets developers submit, review, and discuss code changes through a browser interface. It supports multiple version control systems including Git, Mercurial, Subversion, and Perforce. The tool provides a dashboard for tracking review requests, inline commenting on diffs, and integration with bug trackers like JIRA and Bugzilla.

Originally created at VMware and released as open source in 2007, Review Board has been used by companies ranging from small startups to large enterprises. It offers features like diff viewer with syntax highlighting, screenshot review, and customizable review workflows. The server runs on Linux and requires Python and Django.

Review Board is free and open source under the MIT license. It's a good fit for teams that want a self-hosted code review solution without per-user licensing costs. The project maintains both a stable release and a development branch on GitHub.
