That would be super.

To pick a language at random (no, really) I understand that PHP practices TDD
but without TODO tests.  This seems to be the cause of the recent problems in
which the 5.3.7 release contained a bug in crypt().  The tests reported the
failure but it was lost in the noise of 200 other "known" failures.

Does anyone have any appropriate contacts in any other languages?  I think it
would be great if we were able to get together and learn from each other.
