Introduction

Even developers involved in tiny projects know that most times writing working code is not enough. It has also to be clear, readable, maintainable, consistent, well documented and cleverly designed, especially when it has to be reused by other people, like in our case.

Therefore here are some coding guidelines which have to be followed for NASPRO core development and for code contributions. These resemble somehow the "GNU coding standards" and the "Linux kernel coding style", but are neither identical nor equivalent.
