I'd actually suggest

	Documentation/CodingStyle

as a good starting point. Its probably worth making the code clean and easy
to read before trying to do other stuff to it. Its a lot easier to prove
your own changes are correct if you do that after you've proved a reformat and
tidy didnt break it

Sure
