+<h1>Coding practices</h1>
+
+<p>
+The Linux Trace Toolkit viewer and libltt libraries use the coding standards
+of the underlying <A HREF="www.gtk.org">glib and gtk libraries</A>.
+This includes:
+
+<UL>
+<LI>lower case file names without underscore but with an occasional dash,
+<LI>lower case function names with underscores separating words,
+<LI>type names starting with a capital letter and with capital letters
+separating words.
+</UL>
+
+<P>
+Each file in the libltt library should contain a
+<A HREF=library-header.txt">LGPL header</A> while each file in the LTT viewer
+should contain a
+<A HREF=library-header.txt">GPL header</A>.
