What's a coding sprint?
It's an event loosely inspired by extreme programming, where a number of developers get together for a few days of intense pair programming on a common project. The first time I heard of sprints was from Zope Corporation's Jim Fulton, who's been using sprints successfully for the Zope 3 project; maybe he invented the word. Coding sprint certainly sounds better than coding marathon!
