​We all know the document is out-of-date once it has been written. :-) My
thought is you can give
a general guild line, using existing backend as an example. Consistency is
very subjective,
that's why I think you can write up a draft document, explaining what you
want to improve, let
other has a solid base to give comment and feedback.
