One of the things we do here at our DCPHP meetings is have an "open
question" time where people throw out issues that they've been dealing
with recently (solved or not) to get feedback.  It's stunning how
often you're dealing with something that someone else recently solved,
figured out a way around, read about, etc.  Just because something is
new/old to you doesn't mean it's the same for everyone.

These discussions often break up into a few smaller groups as the
nitty-gritty of the issue is talked about, but it gives a great
opportunity to talk with other people of varying skills/experience.
