Research direction

No file or test is named in the issue. Start by reviewing the existing project documentation or wiki and the Symfony2 style addition to identify the steps developers followed. Done means a concise checklist documenting the process for introducing a new coding style.

Description

Low Priority

It will be useful to provide a document (or use the project wiki) to outline all of the steps that developers should go through when introducing a new coding style, e.g .the recently added Symfony2 style. From a code perspective the style was completely thorough. All it really lacked was some small amount of documentation. Providing a checklist of these items for developers will be helpful for the future.
