No, but I will now ;-)

Yes, I've finished my code reviews for metrics on code
quality (coupling, etc). Now, I'm setting up the
JFCUnit and VBUnit frameworks so they can continue to
write tests on the legacy portions of the product in
the areas I think will need the most refactoring. I
hope to have it all in place by the time they are done
getting this release out "the old way".

Thx for the feedback!
