tested it over last week on a private installation, and not convinced
it's a good tool (neither github is, but that's not the topic).

So quick feedback:

- making review automatic is possible using hooks
- integrtion of jira was painful
- the ui is not that intuitive. github is way ahead compared to review
board. gerrit is also quite better imo.


So let's decommission it, except if someone still want to use it
(which i doubt since most are using github).

Another tool that looks interesting is crucible [1]? Has anyone tried it?

I've used it. It's fine, but GH is probably the lowest-friction option
for most developers.

Crucible:

"It's code review made easy for Subversion, CVS, Perforce, and more."

Any idea if it's working also for git? I would jump in to test it ...
