+Coding Standards
+================
+
+When contributing code to Rsyslog, you must follow its coding standards. To
+make a long story short, here is the golden rule: **Imitate the existing
+Rsyslog code**. Most open-source modules and libraries recommended by Rsyslog also
+follow the same guidelines, and you should too.
+
+Remember that the main advantage of standards is that every piece of code
+looks and feels familiar, it's not about this or that being more readable.
