i guess that Pd might be out of existence when the book will be ready... seriously, i do think that there are fundamentally (and not so fundamentally) different views on "good form" (as all the flaming on [t a] vs. [trigger anything] shows), and i don't think that we would come to a conclusion. so i see 2 approaches to such project: - a collection of several individiual "good style" articles; possibly contradictory (e.g. in the way of the "beautiful code" book that primarily shows how differently "beauty" is perceived) - a single (group of) person(s) that write(s) the book and can decide on their definition of "good style"; since they do all the work, they have all the right to ignore (or whatever) other opinions i personally would favour #1, but i think both approaches are legitimate fgmadsr.
