Preliminary Style Guide Page

I've posted this as initial page for our style guide. We'll be taking some preliminary steps today in class to set some initial guidelines, and I'll post what we discussed here soon.

Participants should feel free to call attention to stylistic questions or issues as they come up, and negotiate the preferred style for the site as it develops. The AAA style guide and the Chicago Manual of style should be the basis for what we do here, but there may be particular issues where this wiki goes its own way, given the medium.

The administrators of the site can link this page where ever they feel it will be useful.

I've now given a summary of what we discussed last Thursday in our workshop. I've tried to include as much of what we talked about as possible, but I may have missed something or misconstrued the consensus for a particular issue. Feel free to correct me, and by all means add rules you think need to be included—as I mention above, this page should be an active site where you negotiate the stylistic rules and mediate tricky stylistic questions and issues that come up.
