Warren:
I'd recommend adding some details to HACKERS.TXT concerning the format,
particularly since a few things are non-obvious. I would also suggest
you point out that methods in classes are sorted alphabetically in the
source and header files, which is something I just noticed.
Although a lot of the feedback you gave me was from stuff I missed or
forgot from HACKERS.TXT, some more explanation might be a good idea.
I'd do it myself, but I figure I'd be likely to leave something out and
you'd have to fix it anyway. I'd also _maybe_ recommend doing a
"whitespace" pass in SVN since some of the files don't conform
completely; I've seen occasional spaces where tabs should be, and
trailing whitespace. Using vi in "set list" mode makes it really easy
to spot those things. I also have a thingy in my .vimrc that highlights
trailing whitespace in red, which is also helpful:
au Syntax * syn match Error /\s\+$/ | syn match Error /\(^\s*\)\@<=
\+\ze\t\+/
