Most simple indent policy would be just don't mix tabs and spaces, ever. Then a Dev can use tabs if they want or spaces. Plus it is better for tools to convert.

I knew a guy in college who did 3 space indents, cause 2 was too few and 4 was too many. Hated reading his code, cause it was just utterly bizarre trying to line it up.

I don't intend to do complicated standards.
-We need to standardize our naming conventions (especially for things like files).
-Stop mixing tabs and spaces no matter which way we go.
-I'd like to limit line length to something, maybe not a hard limit and probably a bit more than 80 characters. Its just that it sucks reading lines that are 780 characters long cause someone couldn't be bothered to break a string up.
-There's a few practices with regard to the actual coding that would be nice to clarify how it should be done rather than keep answering questions or correcting people who do it wrong.
