Really? To start *writing* in C++, sure we want at least an initial version of the coding guidelines. I pointed to those, because they look like a reasonable start. To start *building* in C++, I do not think we need to agree on the coding guidelines. We are already doing stages 2 and 3, doing stage 1 is a straightforward next step. > It was agreed that a set of Coding Conventions would be published before the > switch to C++.

But not for simply building with C++. Diego.
