coding guidelines

[Bjoern Petri]

Hi everyone,
Some weeks ago, Jan mentioned that we are missing coding guidelines and 
I think he has a point there. As I first approach to address this, I 
think it would be a good idea to agree on a certain code style guide. As 
this is mostly a subjective matter and therefore difficult to decide, I 
would propose that we might take a look what is out there,  choose a 
coding style which is close to our already existing code and check 
whether we can/should adjust this to our needs.

For example, the Apache httpd code styleguide 
https://httpd.apache.org/dev/styleguide.html could be used by us as 
well? What do you think?

Regards,
  Björn
