i was mostly referring to headers, comments, indent style, etc :) naming is
a hideous can of worms that boils down to 'it depends on exactly what youre
doing and why' in most cases, outside of the obvious '? for predicates, ! for
modifiers' ... although some general guidelines might not be a bad idea.
theres a style guide on schemers.org wiki somewhere, that i happen to
disagree with on most points :)

what do people think about setting some style/indent rules/suggestions for
code?
For me, it's Emacs' (indent-sexp), with scheme-mode's adjustments for
Scheme code. You could probably suggest a max-line-length, but beyond
"use conventional Scheme indentation" I'm not sure what else you could
do.
Does anyone have a reference to a Scheme style guide? I know I've seen
one, but I can't think where. This lazy Emacs user is spoiled by
built-in functionality.
On the naming of things, it would be very hard at this point in the
game to enforce a prefix: naming convention across all egg procedures
(as in http:GET, contrasted with the gazillion 'format' definitions).
It would be helpful, iff there were also syntactic support for not
requiring the prefixes when a module is "imported", as mzscheme and
Common Lisp do. I've worked on a module system that addresses that, as
I'm sure many others have, but we have no comprehensive solution.
