+Coding Style
+============
+
+See http://korganizer.kde.org/develop/hacking.html for an HTML version.
+
+Formatting
+----------
+
+- No Tabs.
+- Indent with 2 spaces.
+- A line must not have more than 80 chars.
+- Put Spaces between brackets and arguments of functions.
+- For if, else, while and similar statements put the brackets on the same line
+  as the statement.
+- Function and class definitions have their brackets on separate lines.
+
+Example:
+
+void MyClass::myFunction()
+{
+  if ( blah == fasel ) {
+    blubbVariable = arglValue;
+  } else {
+    blubbVariable = oerxValue;
+  }
+}
+
+
+Header Formatting
+-----------------
+
+- General formatting rules apply.
+- Access modifiers are indented.
+- Put curly brackets of class definition on its own line.
+- Double inclusion protection defines are all upper case letters and are
+  composed of the namespace (if available), the classname and a H suffix
+  separated by underscores.
+- Inside a namespace there is no indentation.
+
+Example:
+
+#ifndef XKJ_MYCLASS_H
+#define XKJ_MYCLASS_H
+
+namespace XKJ {
+
+class MyClass
+{
+  public:
+    MyClass();
+
+  private:
+    int mMyInt;
+};
+
+}
+
+#endif
+
+
+API docs
+--------
+
+- Each public function must have a Doxygen compatible comment in the header
+- Use C-style comments without additional asterisks
+- Indent correctly.
+- Comments should be grammatically correct, e.g. sentences start with uppercase
+  letters and end with a full stop.
+- Be concise.
+
+Example:
+
+  /**
+    This function makes tea.
+
+    @param cups number of cups.
+    @result tea
+  */
+  Tea makeTea( int cups );
+
+
+Class and File Names
+--------------------
+
+- Put classes in files, which have the same name as the class, but only
+  lower-case letters.
+- Designer-generated files should have a name classname_base.ui and shoul
+  contain a class called ClassnameBase.
+- Classes inheriting from designer-generated classes have the same name as the
+  generated class, but without the Base suffix.
+
+Class and Variable Names
+------------------------
+
+- For class, variable, function names seperate multiple words by upper-casing
+  the words precedeed by other words.
+- Class names start with an upper-case letter.
+- Function names start with a lower-case letter.
+- Variable names start with a lower-case letter.
+- Member variables of a class start with "m" followed by an upper-case letter.
