## page was renamed from ReviewStatus
<<Include(Menus/QAProcess)>>

As ROS [[Packages]] and [[Stacks]] move through the [[QAProcess]], we track their status using the `<review>` tag in the relevant package [[Manifest|manifest.xml]] and stack [[Stack Manifest|stack.xml]]. 

We use these fields as follows:

`status`
  One of the following, which corresponds to the various steps of the review process:

    `experimental`
      Package/stack is research code or otherwise unstable and not intended for use in the main system. If this code is considered to be viable, it should go through a proposal and API review process.

    `Proposal cleared`
      Need for component has been reviewed and passed

    `API conditionally cleared`
      API is cleared, pending some requested changes

    `API cleared`        
      API passed review

    `Doc reviewed`
      Documentation (and API) have passed review

    `3rdparty doc reviewed`
      Documentation has passed review according to thirdparty component requirements

    `test`
      Package/Stack is for testing purposes only

    `NA`
      Package/Stack is not subject to review requirements

  '''Additionally''', if a package has been '''code reviewed''', that may be indicated by appending `", code reviewed"` to any of the statuses above, e.g. `"Doc reviewed, code reviewed`"

`notes`
  Notes must include a date of the most recent review and may include other relevant information, such as reviewers
