I thought this issue was addressed in the AOLserver Engineering Standards
Manual:
http://www.aolserver.com/docs/devel/tech/standards.html#low
I don't think we'll benefit from rehashing this issue, especially since a
large number of other open-source projects are sticking with spaces. I'd
like to suggest we leave standard as it stands, as specified in the
AOLserver Engineering Standards Manual; I'm sure Dossy will join the
prevailing standard, even though it's different from his opinion.
This document:
http://www.jwz.org/doc/tabs-vs-spaces.html
Includes information on how to set up emacs and vim (vi and nvi users like
me are out-of-luck) to use spaces.
I really think this issue can turn in to a big distraction when we have so
much else to do.
Pete.

how we want to apply this standard, or decide not to do anything at all
