Hi,

Code styling is important, but getting to a consensus on what is good/bad
is as close as religious war as you can get. At the end what matters is
consistency. What ever you decide as your coding standards (indentation,
line wrap, opening brackets location, etc) just make sure it's consistent.

My two cents, and what IMHO is most important, is documentation. If you
really want your project to be opened sourced and to get people
contributing and helping out, more than having nice styled code, having
proper documentation is best.

Cheers.
