Best situation: could grab some coffee in a very informal setting, bring our code and questions and have input from both computer science (IT folk) and statistical backgrounds (stats folk)
Debating as a healthy form of expression :-)
Languages: Any
Goals:
Build a repository of good code
Work collaberatively, get feedback.
Find out the type of projects/experience others are getting: Power to the people
If we find better, faster ways to do our work (which for me is programming, not sure about other people), then we will have more time to think about the big picture
