For a hacker trying to find data suggesting the PTO and possibly some patent agents are not performing due diligence, where would you propose we start?

How many patent agents are there employed by PTO? Are they all full time?

This is a great effort to make a public repository of due diligence: http://patents.stackexchange.com/

I wonder to what degree examiners use this before granting a patent.
