I've started a discussion about this issue with a number of folks at
VA and SourceForge.

I think it's time for a new kind of community event:


		  "Code Tasting"


This is an event where Mike Bilow comes and inspects your code in
public ;-).

Actually, beyond the model where LUGs pile into an "adopt-an-app"
model of community behavior, I think it would be an interesting
exercise for code review parties to become a regular fixture at all
levels of the open source world.

So who here is working on an open source application and would like
to undergo a semi-formal peer review?
