I suppose it is too much of a religious war but I would love more
discussion of code style.  You will have to gauge other fans but I
like to hear it hashed out.  Pick a coding practice of the week (good

evangelist!  Coding standards are a very key thing in development
after reading Clean Code I am even keener on it.
