Meeting summary, May 8
We made quite a bit of progress on creating unified CSS Coding Standards, which continue to be documented on this Codex user page. We are currently seeking comment format suggestions, especially for section headers and flag methods for ease of searching/navigating. Please leave suggestions as an edit of the Codex page in the Comments section, and sign your proposal (just so we avoid accidentally editing somebody else’s work). We are teasingly calling it a homework assignment 
We’ll also need to remember to update the table of contents for wp-admin.dev.css at some point.
Finally, don’t forget to take the UI Contributor Survey that @jane posted. She makes a very good point about what the various areas of UI are and that newcomers are often put off if the focus of the moment is outside their comfort zone.

As we continue to flesh things out, I think we’re probably at the point where we have to consider whether these are guidelines for everybody (plugin and theme devs along with core contributors) or more like a handbook/set of guidelines for core style sheets. Guidelines for everybody would mean being more specific, both in what might be treated differently in, say, wp-admin.dev.css and in what exactly is addressed, e.g. really forward-looking CSS3 that we probably shouldn’t use in core just yet.
