HACKING

Here some information for potential developers:

0) source layout
   70 chars line length, 
   2 spaces indent where possible

1a) naming conventions for gtk widgets:
  
  widget                   shortcut (name in glade and hs source)

  menuitemName          -> mName
  menuName              -> menuName
  scrolledwindowName    -> swName
  labelName             -> lblName
  buttonName            -> btnName
  entryName             -> entryName
  dialogName            -> dlgName
  clipboardName         -> cbName
  separatorName         -> sepName
  (h|v)boxName          -> (h|v)boxName
  dialogActionAreaName  -> daaName
  hpaned                -> hpnName
  window                -> nameWindow  

1b) widget attributes
  
  Until now we prefer 

    widgetSetAttribute w value

  over 

    set w [ attribute := value ]

  or 
  
    w `widgetSetAttribute` value

  (but I dont know why ...)

2) $ or () ?
  lookup functions and guiactions are mainly written in ( ):
  doSomeThingWith (dlgSave gui)
  doSomeThingWith (name parser)
  addAction (btnA gui) (actionHassenichGesehen args gui)

3) Standardnames in functions
  gui      -> gui-compound
  parsers  -> parser-liste
  parser   -> current parser
