 This page introduces the new Odoo Coding Guidelines. Those aim to improve the quality of the code (e.g. better readability of source) and Odoo Apps. Indeed, proper code eases maintenance, aids debugging, lowers complexity and promotes reliability.
 
-These guidelines should be applied to every new module, and new developpment. These guidelines will be applied to old module **only** in case of code refactoring (migration to new API, big refactoring, ...).
