15783	JavaScript Coding Standards	GamajoTech	koopersmith	"Following up on scribu's and azaozz's comments in #15650, would a JavaScript Coding Standards page on the Codex (equivalent to http://codex.wordpress.org/WordPress_Coding_Standards and http://codex.wordpress.org/CSS_Coding_Standards) be useful?

It would not only include the usual code formatting, whitespace, brace position, semi-colon requirements etc, but also clarify on which code patterns are preferable for performance, both for the specific dependency library, and those that will give the smallest file when minified.

Another idea might be to introduce a file docblock that outlines which JS library or other file dependencies the current file has.
