Then I'd like to volunteer the sourcecode for Mambo Open Source, a 
project that I have been added to (I'm the resident database 
curmudgeon).  I can say that I have no vested interest in the code - as 
I have not contributed anything yet - but would enjoy an independent 
assessment by the community.

This is not an advertisement, but an offer to see what everyone else on 
this list thinks about their general coding style and architectural 
strategies.  This was a commercial project that was allowed an open 
source fork, which is what we have today.  Uses OO methodologies, and 
fairly clean coding style.

Subjecting Mambo to an acid test by NYPHPers would be awesome, as I 
often wonder what the norms are for coding styles, naming conventions, etc.

Just a thought,
