Hi,

I’m trying to have a Ruby (and Rails) style guide for me and possibly  
for my team.

I have found the following resources so far.

- [http://www.pathf.com/blogs/2008/10/elements-of-ruby-style/](http://www.pathf.com/blogs/2008/10/elements-of-ruby-style/)
- [Insight: Medical Device Software Articles and Resources](http://www.pathf.com/blogs/ruby-and-rails-style-guide/)
- 

> <https://github.com/leahneukirchen/styleguide/blob/5cb39d0935df6678ee0ab9036f5dd2056217e9a6/RUBY-STYLE>

- [http://github.com/samuraicoder/ruby-style-guide/tree/master](http://github.com/samuraicoder/ruby-style-guide/tree/master)

Questions

- Do you have your own style you stick to?
- Does your company have a style guideline?

I’m thinking that it may enhance the productivity for the team if  
there’s a good guideline agreed among team members.

Do you know any other attempts?

I looked RailsMaturityModel (RMM), but there is nothing like this.

Jon
