Anyone compared this with Review Board yet? RB looks a lot flashier and appears to have some quite useful functionality, wheras this looks fairly basic.

Rietveld: a new code review tool Posted May 6, 2008 7:25 UTC (Tue) by Wummel (subscriber, #7591) [Link] I wonder why they did not use or improve the existing Review Board implementation (for example with a summer of code project, or directly) and are instead making a new solution.Perhaps they wanted to use the new Google App Engine, and porting RB to that would have been too difficult.
What kind of impontant functionality is not there ? Posted May 6, 2008 9:04 UTC (Tue) by khim (subscriber, #9252) [Link] Just curious. I see that RB does syntax highlighting, while Rietveld does not. Also JSON API. Something else? "Flashier" is good if you want to catch attention, but not so great for real work, but missing functionality is important... As for "why to reinvent the wheel"... Mondrian (Rietveld is open-source fork of Mondrian) and Review Board were developed more-or-less in parallel... Just look at Review Board announce here and note this line: "We started development on this shortly before Mondrian was announced, and thought “Maybe we can just use Mondrian!” Unfortunately, it doesn’t appear to be open source, and wouldn’t integrate well into our setup anyway. So development of Review Board was still justified".
