Software Development Life Cycle

I see a lot of great ideas for talking about deployment and testing tactics in PHP, and I think that as a whole we should roll them up into a series of discussions covering the software life cycle. A lot of emphasis in the community seems to revolve around coding, deploying, and testing, but not a lot of attention seems to go toward designing and documenting.

While I can understand that designing and documentation may not be as glorious and fun as development, testing, and deployment, I would like to get an idea for how other folks in this group would feel about having a meetup or two to the idea of covering these drudgeries of programming.

To start with, I would envision discussing the SDLC as a whole: introduce each part and why they are important, and then break them down into specific discussions about each, along with how to integrate them into every day tasks (i.e., using a modeling language to create flow charts and class diagrams, etc).
