It does not, but it strongly suggests it. Since the organizations are large and the code is open, a lot of people work on the code; low coding standards would cause a mediocre product and the organization would lose its profile. That's my intuition. But we can ask some mentors from last year if they were satisfied with the code quality; for example, the gEDA people if you like. _______________________________________________ links-list mailing list links-list@linuxfromscratch.org http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/links-list
