I was going to suggest trying to find an existing style-guide from an
open-source project. Perhaps the Apache Flex project can use the Android
Style Guide if the project itself uses an Apache License. Then, in my
research, I found many projects simply refer to a simpler style-guide for
naming conventions, and format tends to be dictated by an agreed-upon
formatting style. We should be able to pull from a simple style-guide for
naming conventions, and the format we can alter as we go along, starting
with Martin's properties file.
