   • features which are being worked on
   • features which people want / plan to work on

2. Code style (Nuno) Purpose: Have the same style without loosing time learning/applying it.

   • Automatic code formatter:
     • uncrustify, http://uncrustify.sourceforge.net/
       • probably the most highly configurable code beautifier
       • all the configuration options are defined in a .cfg file
       • example: uncrustify -c mystyle.cfg -f test.cpp
     • Artistic Style, http://astyle.sourceforge.net/
     • GC greatcode, http://sourceforge.net/projects/gcgreatcode/
     • BCPP, http://invisible-island.net/bcpp/
     • other?
   • Tools that can use this:
     • UniversalIdentGUI (linux, mac, win), http://universalindent.sourceforge.net/ » Supports all the above Automatic code beautifier's and others as well as other languages besides C/C++ » easy to create a configurable file to a specific automatic code beautifier. » live preview » probably the best way to help create a configurable file
     • Atom, https://atom.io/, » packages:
     • atom-beautify -> uses uncrustify code beautifier needs to configure the path and file with uncrustify configurations
     • linter-cpplint -> highlights code that not fits the standards
     • linter-flake -> to remove warning about max line length, change in settings
     • apply style: ctrl+alt+b (to selected code or to all code if there if no code selected code)
     • SublimeText, http://www.sublimetext.com » packages:
     • SublimeLinter, highlight code with incorrect format
       • SublimeAStyleFormatter, uses astyle code beautifier
     • Eclipse/Nsight: » supports K&R, BSD/Allman, GNU, Whitesmiths » allow to load and save configuration style files, xml files
     • other tools?
   • Therefore we can create a configurable file and a simple script to apply the style before uploading code to git.

3. Automated Testing (move to next call)
