>        Codestriker is a web application which facilitates
        collaborative code reviewing.  Authors create code review
        topics, where the nominated reviewers will be automatically
        notified by email.  Reviewers then submit comments against the
        code on a per-line basis, and can also view comments submitted
        by the other reviewers as they are created.  Emails are sent
        to the appropriate parties when comments are created, as an
        alert mechanism.  The author is also free to submit comments
        against the review comments.  Once all reviewers have
        finished, the author has all review comments available in a
        structured fashion.  All information is stored in a relational
        database, which Codestriker can search over.  All text is
        stored internally as UTF-8, which supports reviews in
        all major languages.

         source control management systems, for the display of
         coloured diffs and for the ability to view original and new
         files in their entirety to assist in the review process.
         Codestriker can be optionally linked with a bug tracking
         system, such as Bugzilla.  Other SCM systems will be added in
         future releases, given demand and help from the developer
         community.  Codestriker can also be linked with
        <A

>LXR</A
> to allow
        for fast lookup of code entities, to assist in the review
        process.

>        Codestriker is written in cross-platform Perl.  It
        can run on any variant of UNIX (Linux, *BSD) and has been
        deployed on Win32 systems (Windows 98 and above).  It can be
        used in conjunction with a number of relational databases,
        including MySQL, PostgreSQL, Oracle, SQL Server, and other
        ODBC-compliant databases.
