Don't be stressed about coding standard yet.  Just do the best you can,
as it sounds like it'll be useful regardless of perfection level. :)

More experienced coders can turn up to help out later on, as it gets
used... :)

As Joe mentioned, there's definitely Community interest in it. :)

As an additional thought, would you be interested in turning your
email about this into a blog post for the Gluster site, or maybe
creating a reference Howto/article type thing?  (optimal combo
would be having a project created on the Gluster Forge with your
initial tools, + reference Howto article + blog post for attention)

:)
