1. Rules/Conventions/Guides - When applying patches - Commit message template
These are probably related. I think our current habits are good, but maybe they need to be written down :)
I also started adding contributors to the parent POM - I hope that's something we can continue.
- Codestyles
Something in me wants to say "use the Eclipse default so the patches are always right" :)
Honestly, I don't care about this any more, as long as it is consistent, can be checked in checkstyle, can be formatted in Eclipse, IDEA and NetBeans.
The things I do care about: - spaces, not tabs - 4 spaces for Java - 2 spaces for XML - 120 column wrap, not 80. - wrap on spaces, not on '.' in a method call :)
2. Voting Process
I think we pretty much follow the Apache guidelines here, so we can stick to that. May be worth documenting some things specifically though.
So, who wants to start a "how we do things" page on the site that we can grow over time? :)
