DeveloperGuidelines/CodeConventions

@@ -5 +5 @@
 
 NOTE: These coding conventions are mandatory for code to be accepted for the [wiki:ucore Stable] series!
+
+This facilitates a team of developers working on the same code base. If each developer were to use their own style, there would be jarring changes in the code as someone read through it. This slows comprehension and can also cause spurious differences in changesets as developers alter style in frivolous ways on the code they touch.
+
+Our style guide aims to make the code base appear as if it was written by one precise punctilious programmer, rather than a a cacophony of competing coders. As with many aspects of coding and writing, there can be differences of opinion about the best style. These issues distract from the goal of writing code that works. Most project contributors have a slightly different personal coding style, but we all use the Sahana Eden style when contributing to the Sahana Eden project.
