[Bioc-devel] Bioconductor coding standards

Dear colleagues,

One of my students is currently working on a package that we plan to 
submit to Bioconductor. I want him to adhere to the Bioconductor coding 
standards which I thought were available at 
http://wiki.fhcrc.org/bioc/Coding_Standards. However, it turned out that 
the site is down or has been moved. I searched for them and only found 
https://phssec1.fhcrc.org/secureplone/www.bioconductor.org/developers/OLD/devwiki/CodingStandards 
which is somehow what I expect, but seems quite old (last edited 7 years 
ago). So where have the guidelines gone? Thanks in advance for your any 
kind of help!

Best regards,
Ulrich

What about http://bioconductor.org/developers/package-guidelines/

Of course, I know this page, but this is not what I was looking for. 
While the package guidelines pagedeals with the structure and design of 
packages, I was looking for guidelines how to write code, i.e. 
indentation, spacing, line length, etc.

Regards, Ulrich
