Coding standards

I've been thinking about proposing a change to the coding standards to would relax the majority of the style requirements. For the most part, instead of spelling out how code should be formatted, the existing requirements would become more of a suggested style guide (meaning "this is how the 'official' code is already formatted and it would be nice if new code were formatted like this"). Next, we add a single (strict!) requirement that, when making changes to existing code in the repository, the changes must honor the style of the original file. Gross style-related commits would not be permitted unless a good (technical) reason is provided. -- Jon Parise (jon@csh.rit.edu) .
