The TWG coding standards committee is announcing two coding standards changes for final discussion. These appear to have reached a point close enough to consensus for final completion. The new process for proposing and ratifying changes is documented on the coding standards project page.
The two issues being proposed are:
- Allow camelCase also for local variables / parameters (please not that this particular issue still has some dissention but we think that the community spotlight could help draw it to a final conclusion)
- Should we require a blank line after <?php?
As a follow up on the preceding set of issues now concluded:
- Please relax requirement for @file when using OO Class or Interface per file: 'ERROR | Missing file doc comment' was ratified and is currently RTBC now just waiting for documentation updates
- [policy, then patch] Consistent .install file layout has been rejected as a coding standards change but is moving on as an update for Drupal core
These proposals will be re-evaluated during the next coding standards meeting currently scheduled for March . At that point the discussion may be extended, or the policy may be dismissed or ratified and moved to the ‘update documentation’ step.
