</span>Notes at <a href="https://notes.kde.org/p/akademy-2017-application-lifecycle" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://notes.kde.org/p/<wbr>akademy-2017-application-<wbr>lifecycle</a><br>
<br>
It seems to me in the BoF there was a general consensus (even though it may be<br>
just me projecting) that having kdereview for now is better than having<br>
nothing. Once we get those great new tests, it seems everyone was happy with<br>
removing/simplifying greatly the kdereview step.<br>
<br>
Now what we need is a group to step up, collect the checks we do on the<br>
kdereview step (some of them are in the notes) and write those checks.<br>
<br>
