Hi,
As we start to bring on new contributors, and operate as a project, its
increasingly important that we document and agree upon coding standards.
I think we've done a good job of maintaining this consistency
informally, but, now we need to vote and agree on project standards.
I've taken a first stab at this and committed it to the develop branch,
folks can see it here:
https://github.com/apache/incubator-mynewt-core/blob/develop/CODING_STANDARDS.md
I think next steps are:
- If you have formatting fixes, or clarifications that don't change the
contents, just go ahead and edit the document.
- If you disagree with something in the document, or think it should be
changed in some way, respond back to this thread.
- If you have additions or rules that you don't think were captured,
respond back to this thread, along with the proposed text. If nobody
objects, I'll just fold them into whatever other revisions we decide to
make.
After we give this a round of discussion, I'll capture all the feedback
and do a rev of the document. If nobody has any issues with that rev,
we can vote to officially adopt these coding standards. I personally
think this should be an up or down vote.
Well - OK, let the conversations begin :-)
