TTFA2 Style Guide

Style Guide

This is NOT the current style guide

The proper style guide was agreed upon at IRC_logs_for_TTFA2_meeting the first TTFA2 meeting. It was put into Flossmanuals.net on the notes section for the booklet, and has now disappeared. Most of the content was kept, though there were some crucial changes
