[Corpora-List] Source code corpora

[Klaus Guenther]

It may be interesting to note that some projects have an automated 
coding standard enforcement. Due to the wide range of compliance in the 
aforementioned PEAR repository, a tool was developed to automatically 
parse code to ensure compliance with certain standards. The package is 
called PHP_CodeSniffer [1] and apparently works just fine. There is also 
a proposal page with comments [2].

Regards,
Klaus
