If it helps JuK also has a style guide which we try to maintain the code in 
line with (I even once added Vim modelines for practically all of the files 
for instance).  It is described in kdemultimedia/juk/HACKING.

I'm pretty sure we're not the only program with a style guide, it IMO should 
be a common feature of any set of code worked on by multiple people.

Practically any "best practice" or group software engineering book has a 
suggestion of the following general form: "It doesn't matter what coding 
convention you have, but your program should have one and stick to it".

I just wish that instead of complaining about having a coding convention every 
6 months that if someone really really felt that strongly about it (and it 
seems quite a few do ;), they would take action to try to disestablish the 
policy so we can get back to coding instead of painting the shed a different 
color.
