gwern0 350a4d6f6b STYLE: enlarge on existing principles
Comments: the -Wall thing was just trying to say -Wall -Werror should work. The license thing was too narrow - or are my public domain contributions unwelcome because they are not BSD-3? I think comments are most important for exported functions users will use; it isn't so important for helper functions (used only in the module) to be very well-documented, right?

== Coding guidelines for contributing to
== XMonad and the XMonad contributed extensions
* Comment every top level function (particularly exported funtions), and
provide a type signature; use Haddock syntax in the comments.
* Follow the coding style of the other modules.
* Code should be compilable with -Wall -Werror. There should be no warnings.
* Partial functions should be avoided: the window manager should not
crash, so do not call `error` or `undefined`
* Tabs are illegal. Use 4 spaces for indenting.
* Any pure function added to the core should have QuickCheck properties
precisely defining its behaviour.
* New modules should identify the author, and be submitted under
the same license as XMonad (BSD3 license or freer).
