I don't care much about code review , but it's a close enough attractor to the space of code reading that it seems to be draining attention.

What kind of annotations would not make sense as comments?

I'd be in favor of having some standard "code review markup language", which could contain review comments and workflows. Then you would be able to put these in files and make those files part of your repository (ie commit/push). Then, you could build various frontends to handle these in a user friendly way if you like. But also, would be accessible and editable in your favorite text editor.

We solve this via gatekeeper rules (repository administrator defines rules such as who needs to review which part of code, or whose code needs to be reviewed (intern team for instance needs to be reviewed by core team etc), or what commit message rule should be followed etc.

A typical review process suggested by GitPlex can be found here: http://wiki.pmease.com/display/GP10/Iterative+Review+with+Pu...

Discussions about the code perhaps.

Annotations as what you scribble in the margin of an article or on a page in a book.

Comments are inline with the code. Annotations are aside, and serve both as visual anchors and as "aside" notes.

Is it something like this? http://gitplex.pmease.com/demo/android-framework-base/files?...

You may also put annotations on any diffs: http://gitplex.pmease.com/demo/android-framework-base/commit...

This looks impressive, especially how they seem to handle rebases/squashes with force push, which is a problem that pretty much all other repo managers simply ignore (except for Gerrit, but that one has other problems...).

reviewable.io handles that very well too (but it's a hosted service)

Yay, thanks, looks amazing.

Being hosted is not always a bad thing, thinking in the cost of maintenance it can deserve the price.

I'm thinking in terms of what I'd do if the code was printed out on paper.

ERR_CONNECTION_TIMED_OUT : HN hug of death ?

It works fine now, I believe it could be a redeployment or similar.

Looks like many GitPlex downloads are going on... And this happens since two hours ago when I posted this news. The first time I've experienced with HN death hug, 8) Another thing in my agenda now (to optimize the web site and download).
