Groups of particpants (observers or reviewers)

There's not a native way to do this within CodeCollaborator, but you do have a couple options that might help with the tedious assignments.



1) Assign participants from the command-line with the 'ccollab admin review participants assign' command:

You can also use it with the 'ccollab admin batch' command to run multiple commands:

2) You could also have your reviewers set up review subscriptions. It might be a little tedious to set up at first, but once set the participants will be assigned automatically. More information on this feature can be found here:

I hope those help!

Thanks for the suggestions.



Some more thoughts.



I can create a review, add myself as a reviewer, and also add one or two other key reviewers. The review stays open until I close it off (since I'm a reviewer too).



(Sigh ... since I can't be both author and reviewer, it complains. Apparently I can't be both. I continue.)



Then I can simply email the URL for the review to the mailing list.



Others can follow the link to see the review. They will not be participants.



They can add comments.



They can't add defects.



Is there a way they can add and track defects ?
