We do have coding conventions, as mentioned here:
http://wiki.apache.org/pig/HowToContribute. We use the ones you
reference, except that we use spaces rather than tabs. As for
characters per line, we do still use 80. Even if we don't live in the
middle ages some of us like to have multiple panes open at a time and be
able to see across them :)
Perhaps these coding conventions need to be more prominently displayed
in the docs. I'm open to suggestions.

Hi,
can we all agree on some code formatting rules?
I suggest http://java.sun.com/docs/codeconv/CodeConventions.pdf, but
change the number of characters per line to 120 or 200.
(we dont live in the middle age anymore) :-)
However I'm completely unemotional how the rules should look like but
as each other open source project we should have some too.
It will make it easier to read the code, read patches etc.
Thanks.
