it's not as if peer review is some exclusive thing for scientific papers anyways, any open source technology has it as a matter of course (provided it's reasonably popular).

Just look at 3d printers, that technology is almost entirely created by hobbyists who just looked at each others' work, shared what they think works and doesn't work, and make improvements based on that.
