Purpose
Coding standards are a part of defect prevention. They gather rules, advice and best practices for developing software, especially the code writing part. Here are listed some ideas what such standards could be for developing with C++ and within the OpenOffice.org project.
Identifying Rules
To make it easier to talk about the rules, each one gets an identifier. Because items can be added or sorted out, such ids are not just cardinal numbers, but strings with some semantic content. Each rule belongs to a topic with an id, and has an id itself.
Example: FDESIGN:OneTask is the rule with the id "OneTask" which belongs to the topic function design with the id "FDESIGN".
Topics by Problem Domain
Topics may appear at multiple domains.
Middle- and Lowlevel Design
