these are the things that seems related to the style issue:
http://www.rubygarden.org/ruby?RubyStyleGuide
http://www.caliban.org/ruby/rubyguide.shtml#style

though none of those links are *official* ruby guidelines...does anyone
know if there is any such thing? a sort of, "best practices" manifesto?

i suppose you could get some idea but just copying the style of ruby
stuff that Matz has worked on.
