For instance, developing an industrial-strength test suite?  If you've
got an itch there, scratch it.

Go ahead, let's see it.

I have contributed a lot of crap over the years. After some other 
knowingly good and professional programmers layed hand on it, it turned 
out to be usefull. This isn't meant 100% ironically. I really don't 
think the original version of the parallel regression test, just to stay 
with the topic for this example, was worth the bit's needed for storage. 
But it was a starting point, others built on. And crappy as it was, it 
caught a bug - funny, isn't it?

So don't be afraid, let's see what you got so far.
