Indeed, thanks for the reminder. Last I heard (from Koen recently IIRC) this 
script still had some shortcomings though; I have to admit that I haven't used 
it for years however - I tend to do this kind of thing by hand.

The actual page appears to be named "Styleguide". For convenience though I've 
just added a redirect so the above link now works.

I think there are one or two conventions we've established in recent years 
that aren't covered by that page however (some of which may be covered in my 
migration document [1]); we also do not need a separate slightly different 
version on the Yocto Project wiki - I think this was noted some time ago at a 
previous OE TSC meeting in fact. If I get some time and nobody else gets to it 
first I'll try to rectify these issues.

Cheers,
Paul
