ATM Mirror mirror on the wall, who's got the fairest test of all?

[Mel Bartels <mbartels@efn.org>]

Ok, here's what I propose:

One of us (I can probably come up with a 8") temporarily contributes a
finished mirror - can be commercial, made by someone else, or by
yourself.  That person says nothing about the mirror - nothing.  The
mirror is sent off to the first person on a list, who then tests it and
evaluates it however they see fit.  That person privately forwards their
test results to me, and sends the mirror on to the next person on the
list.  Eventually the mirror is returned to the owner, and I publish at
one fell swoop everyone's analysis.  Each person is out shipping the
mirror once to the next person.  Here's your chance to show how much of
an expert you are, how good your favorite test is, and if you are a
novice mirror tester, a chance to see how your testing stacks up against
others.  You can analyze the mirror with any test qualitative or
quantative, but I do want the raw data and analysis along with a
statement of how you predict the mirror will perform.

What do you think?
