Having the dev team in the interview is a great idea, and I have to say I thought about it when writing this post, but then I though to myself that from the employer's point of view, the entire team shouldn't "waist" their time on interviews. However, the way you describe it makes me thing that this would give the employer a much better picture of the candidate than any one-on-one interview - and will give the candidate a good understanding on what it would be like working for that employer. Would you mind if I quote you on that in my blog?
You would not need the whole team, especially when it is a big one. Take a few, the new one will be most likely to work with, but then the whole sub team or at least 3-5 people from it. Some with experience in your code examples, to answer questions .... and if they are not the same, some that are "representative" for the team.

And yes, you may quote me... and you may also put my name on it, as well.
It is already on the internet with my name attached :)
Thanks for your input!
