[FLOW3-general] FLOW3 CodeSniffer ruleset

[Bastian Waidelich]

Hi all,

there has been several (more or less fruitless) attempts to create 
CodeSniffer [1] rulesets for FLOW3 (respectively Phoenix).

Since now more and more IDEs have built-in support for CodeSniffer 
rulesets (e.g. Eclipse & PhpStorm 4+) this topic popped up again.

The idea is to extend the existing CodeSniffer git repository [2]:
There are two folders currently: "TYPO3" contains common CodeSniffs and 
tests, "TYPOv4" contains a ruleset for the v4 core. We should add a new 
folder "FLOW3" there with the ruleset.xml file so that people can simply 
clone the git repository (later we could also provide a downloadable zip).
I just started collecting some possible sniffs in the respective forge 
project [3] - feel free to adjust/extend the document.

To prevent the project from dying again I'd suggest to start with the 
*very basic* rules and build on top of that if it works out.

I'll happily coordinate the process but I'm pretty busy with other 
projects at the moment nor have sufficient CodeSniffer knowledge to 
kickstart this on my own. So it would be great if at least someone takes 
over the responsibility for now an starts with a first version. 
Volunteers? ;)

BTW: Once we have a working ruleset we could use a slightly modified 
version for Extbase, too.

Best,
Bastian
