I recently started a position as a technical lead at a new company. Most of the development is done on a few intranet/extranet sites, so the code (much of it spaghetti) is touched by a lot of different developers.
I've recently set up a wiki that contains coding standards, and used a lot of the LiveDocs recommendations (with a "References" section indicating sources). I've gone the route of placing these standards under some general categories, such as "Security", "Performance", and "Stylistic". The "Stylistic" category defines things such as capitalization and indentation. It may have been a bad idea, but with this category, we came to a lot of these standards based on the consensus of the group - most of whom maintain the coding style of the CFWACK, e.g., title casing function names, uppercasing CF operators, etc. Wondering if any of you would think it is beneficial (or too draconian) to have these "stylistic" standards in place, even if it isn't an individual's preference, to promote readability, consistency and prevent constant reformatting (annoying when doing diffs), especially in an environment where different developers are touching a lot of the same code?
