Best Coding Practices: Are we missing the point?

[David Arno <da...@davidarno.org>]

I really don't get why there is so much discussion here as to whether we should or should not create a "best" coding practices guide for example. Surely we are missing the point here. Apache Flex is a community project. To my mind, that means do what you want and the community will decide if it likes it or not.

So if you want to create some best practices, do so. If you don't like the idea of Apache Flex dictating best practices, ignore them. If there is great community feedback, then clearly the community wanted those best practices. If the feedback is poor, then the idea can be dropped later.

Now that we have the SVN repo in place, perhaps it's time for a bit less talking and a bit more doing? :)

Wouldn't discourage discussion on the list but you make a good point about
less "should we be doing this" and just get involved - providing anything
that gets publicly released under the Apache Flex name gets an opportunity
to be voted on.

I have tried to summarise the issue here:
