i just registered codereview.org and it's hosted on a colocated FreeBSD
box now...  would anyone object to using the domain to coordinate our
efforts?  the only objection i see at present, is if the majority feel
this should be hosted somewhere under freebsd.org so that is it highly
visible.  i'd actually envisioned turning the site into a community for
coordinated review of any/all opensource projects.  (and, hopefully,
sharing any findings in one project with any other relevant projects as
quickly as possible.)
