+1 for people publishing these. I don't everyone will agree on a
single set, but having a few of these to point to would help I think.
Is there not an OTP coding guidelines that OTP contributors must
follow?

Currently I let the Emacs mode decide what is best, but I often
disagree with it. I've been considering changing forms like:

Something = case mod:func(Args) of
                        foo ->
                            ok;
                        bar ->
                            not_ok
                  end,

to:

Something = case mod:func(Args) of
    foo ->
        ok;
    bar ->
        not_ok
end,

which is more what I'm used to from JavaScript.
