Yes, it's the classic 'X says Y' - as monkeys we look at the value of
X before evaluating Y ;)

An informal group is all it takes, providing that group can focus on
results and not degenerate into bikeshedding (my favourite word of
2010.) and the sharing of opinions. The code is the proof of such
efforts, and is not a demonstration of individual brilliance but
something practical and well-documented that provides guidance by
example.
