My vote is for Kernel style, since majority of scripts already use this style. Some small tweaks would need to be made still but for the most part, most scripts already are in a form of kernel style.
Once we agree on the style we should figure out the final decision on this max line length thing.
Typically with kernel style, the max length is 80 characters per line.
Since the beginning of scripting in the Athena project, I don't believe, or can remember of, a set of guidelines / standards which have ever been released. Standards are created as a way to develop a style which remains consistent among all script releases.
Due to the lack of standards, most athena scripts are styled depending on the scripter / author's personal preference. This has resulted in a mix of styles, which have become hard to read, and even harder to contribute to in the future (due to ugly script styling).
Because of this, I would like to propose a set of Scripting Standards, to finally get us on track to clean scripts in the Athena Project.
Attached are the standards I have developed, as well as an example script following the standards. Please review them and be sure to let me know what you think.
This is by no means accepted into the community yet, I would like feedback first before this is even considered to be official.
Thank You.
