This file should be a starter for a larger documentation of the coding standards, outlining the basics for most of the core of MariaDB. Individual engines and special cases can come later, this is a working document to be expanded on to be used as a reference we can point external developers to. |

It strikes me that there is an unusual opportunity in our future with this patch: we might be able to measure impact on something related to the contributor experience. For example, maybe six months from now, we can do some analysis on the merge requests to estimate how much change (if any) there has been regarding comments about trivial matters like spacing or coding style. Thanks for getting this in! |
