[gmx-developers] Code Browser (dev call follow up)

[Mark Abraham]

Hi,

It could help a bit, particularly with giving people more ability to feel
confident in reviewing the code without having to do a full checkout.
However, if the patch under review changes aspects of the API, how does
that work? Relying on a nightly build for the infrastructure behind the
click-to-jump-to-definition seems like it might have too much friction.

People with less experience of the code base than me should particularly
speak up here. :-) You're the market where this has a large impact.
