No matter what this evolves to, I wouldn't mind eventually seeing it set in stone with your blessings, so that the checkin police can use it as the highway code to issue tickets to anyone who's speeding on the repository lane.I don't like the section on coding style. A while back we agreed that people can choose it freely as long as every package in the *namespace* has the same style. So for example, ``zope`` and ``z3c`` use the original Zope 3 styleguide, while ``zc`` uses PEP8 compliance. This is much easier to keep track of than having to remember every package's style. I personally do not like underscore-style method naming, so I would never use it for packages that I am starting from scratch. I do honor other people's decisions though, and would always follow the original author's style. Consistency is better than correctness in this case. (I usually tend to value correctness higher than consistency.)
We should not be too pendantic when it comes to coding styles. I assume that most contributors to Zope 3 or Zope components know how to write code the Zope 3 way. Now with Philipp's guide we have a document telling people how to do it the right way. We still have the stick in our bag for the case of the cases...
