Unlike Commons, you have to be granted permission to commit at other projects at the ASF and each of them have their own PMC and build their own communities. Commons is a single community and thus it makes sense for developers to be able to easily switch between sub projects. Having commonality between the projects encourages that as it means you don't have to figure out what style settings you need as you switch between projects. > >> >>> >>> I use IntelliJ so obviously I'd want a style that it can handle.
