Having a look at the user_guide for CI 1.7 in svn i see there is now a coding guidelines page that has been lifted straight from the ee coding guidelines (i thought i recognised it when i read it).
It references some stuff specific to EE (references to exp etc etc) development in there which obviously isn’t relevant yet to CI.
So either:
A: It is going to be pruned to only refer to CI?
B: This heralds the start of CI and EE’s integration and there will be more info on that?
C: It is going to confuse people who only know about CI and not EE?
Or D, none of the above, you haven’t read it properly.
