Gobo Eiffel Developer Guidelines |

This document describes the guidelines that must be followed by all contributions to the Gobo Eiffel Project. The guidelines are based on the rules laid out in OOSC2 and clarified or amended where necessary. We hope that these guidelines will be widely followed, also by Eiffel libraries other than the Gobo Eiffel libraries, and that they will facilitate code sharing and code reading.

Note that this document is far from complete. It is only the first draft, more sections will be added and some existing sections need some more work.
