This would be a "vanilla" style guide, which projects could modify and extend if necessary. Advantages include: * No need for projects to write their own style guide from scratch * Reasonable uniformity in style and terminology across projects * Independence from external style guides, which may cost money to access * Projects which don't have a style guide get one for free We have people from GNOME, Ubuntu, Xfce and Drupal discussing this right now, and we'd love for other projects to let us know if they are interested in the concept, and to give us their feedback if they are. PLEASE get in touch via the WOS website [1] rather than replying directly to this message, since this is getting crossposted to a lot of doc lists.
