1. Rules/Conventions/Guides
- When applying patches

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? :)
I can start writing this up :-)
Cheers,
Brett
