Whitespaces in OpenOffice code (GitHub repository)

Post by zlau »

Hey there folks. Looking at the github repo, I was noticing how many unnecessary whitespaces exist in the code, and was thinking that maybe there could be a few thousand commits to change them around.
Maybe there could be a project roadmap dedicated to planning how the whitespaces will look in future releases.
Is that something that the OpenOffice project may be willing to accommodate?

There is no dev in the forum (or very rarely). You should discuss it on the dev mailing list.

Normally compilers ignore whitespace outside of quoted strings, so removing such whitespace might be a pointless task.
