Hi there,

We have had quite some discussions about the use of C++11 features and right 
API in the past on this mailing list - but if there has been a consensus (which 
is sometimes hard to find out), it was often buried pretty deep in the mailing 
thread. IMO it would be good to make decisions more explicit, and write them 
down also somewhere outside of this list.

We already have the coding conventions page: 
https://wiki.qt.io/Coding_Conventions . But we haven't done a good job at 
keeping it up to date - and one reason is IMO that, given that it's a wiki 
everybody can edit, people in a twist of irony stay away from editing it to 
avoid editing wars.

I've been contemplating whether we should instead use some more formalized 
decision process. We could have a document uploaded in git, and every change 
needs to be reviewed and approved by Lars. While at it, this fresh start would 
also be a good opportunity to check whether all the rules in above wiki page, 
and the structure of the document in general, can be improved.

As sort of a demo I created

https://github.com/kkoehne/qt-coding-guidelines/blob/master/qt-coding-guidelines.md

What do you think? If nobody sees the value in this, I'll refrain from sinking 
more time into it.

Could work I think. But how do you propose these changes get announced? Who will be added to review such changes?

André
