Code Review
Overview
This working group grew out of a BoF at the US-RSE conference. The chairs, listed below, were two of the panelists in the BoF Discussion. It was evident from the discussion that there was a strong desire to continue this discussion beyond the BoF.
The goal of this working group is to build a community of RSEs who are interested in code review. The working group will provide a forum to gather resources related to code review, discuss the use of code review in research software project, and seek help in conducting code reviews.

#wg-code-review channel
on the US-RSE slack.
Co-Chairs: Jeffrey Carver, Alex Koufos, Abbey Roelofs
