I love this idea of CI gamification. We need to be careful with peer scoring though... it can have bad unintended consequences (I've been there myself).

I think code reviews are a pain too! With a good retrospective, we can use this pain to guide a team into pair programming. That's how we did it in a previous team (Full story here philippe.bourgau.net/from-zero-to-...).

We also had success spreading TDD and XP practices with regular team Coding Dojos. Without these practices, it's indeed very difficult to achieve true CI and small commits.

Thanks!
