Default Standards for a code library

Well... Those are all good questions.

What fosters the desire to use the code library and to
share/borrow code?


It depends on who you ask. As far as sharing code goes, if you'r
working with programmers that are programmers because the lov
programming, it's a labor of love and matter of pride and perhap
altruism. If they're in it for the money, it's more likely to be
matter of convenience. Borrowing code is quick, convenient and a grea
way to learn from others.

What should we manage? What should we not manage?
How strict must rules be w/respect to posting a function?
Must we all use the exact same coding style or is there
wiggle room?


You get to make all that up in whatever ways work for you, but i
you're looking for suggestions, find someone that will be using th
library to take responsibility for it, or at least someone that care
about it personally. Someone skilled and organized that will manag
accepting/rejecting submissions and ensuring the code is tidy an
sufficiently documented. You can have as much wiggle room as you wan
for style, but readability and maintainability are of the highes
importance with something like that. - Piku
