Absolutlly yes!<br>Code beautification is one step in the ight direction...<br><br>There are developers that simply give up on writing code to vtiger because there are portions that are just unbearable :P<br><br>But as Jeff said this has to be a joint operation to minimize the risks and pitfalls derived from the "beautification"..

Has anyone used PHP source beautification tools with any success?<br><br><a href="http://neurobashing.com/blog/archives/2005/03/24/phptidy_quest_continues.html">http://neurobashing.com/blog/archives/2005/03/24/phptidy_quest_continues.html

<br>codebase is an open question.<br><br>The downside is that diffs and merges across that boundary of revision(s)<br>don't really have much use anymore.<br><br>If there was a branch of the source code that would never have
<br>fixes and features back ported to it, then it would be a<br>possibility to do rapid, wholesale beautification.<br><br>To my way of thinking, the trunk, prior to branching for vtigercrm-5.0.0<br>release candidates, might fit this description, and would be the last
<br>opportunity of this type for quite a while.<br><br>Any thoughts?<br><br>_______________________________________________<br>This <a href="http://vtiger.com">vtiger.com</a> email is sponsored by Zoho Planner.
