Btw, even if I had the time to devote to drafting a coding standards
doc (which I don't), I think I've personally been too out of touch
with much of the OpenACS codebase for too long to really do a good
job. I think real life examples drawn from working with and fixing
the code are key here.
Perhaps it would be useful for developers to post their specific
lessons learned (and guidance they drew from them) into a forums
thread, to serve as raw material. On the other hand, maybe that would
just turn into a giant Developer time suck yet go nowhere. :)
