that part of the document's a draft - just a starting point. most of it is just collected practice, not necessarily best. someone needs to pick it up and drive it through a review process so that best practice can emerge. one way of doing the review would be to pick sections like this an throw it open for comments and improvements before you try to apply the guidelines. or just patch it as you go - robert --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: general-unsubscr...@incubator.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: general-h...@incubator.apache.org
