Oh, I forgot to post this on 18th :)

I know we have to work on various aspects of it.
At the irc meet we agreed to not impose it in a harsh way.
Most of the guidelines need to written so that
it is newbie friendly and also not too deviant from"standard

Should include minimal snippets illustrating rules.

More complex Rules
