Hi Edmond

You can find a lot of useful stuff in the Erlang/OTP distribution itself. (Or 
read and learn from the plentiful open source out there, rabbitmq, riak, 
ejabberd, yaws, mochiweb, etc etc.)

Regarding code quality, I'd say after having seen a large fraction of the "old 
school" industrial-size erlang products that there's plenty of blindness in 
there too. Most of those programmers were just regular guys. Interrogating Ulf 
Wiger is probably your best bet in this area.

Best regards,
Thomas
