It was mentioned at the RubyConf that CamelCase is more difficult to
read than under_scored variables for Japanese rubyists.  I only heard
the question and not the answer, so it may be totally untrue.
Regardless, under_scored variables, CamelCased class names, two space
indentation and expand your tabs to spaces.

Try to avoid loops (use iterators wherever possible) and I think you'll
be in business.

The link to RubyGarden is the only style thing I've seen mentioned that
covers style.
I'd also be interested in seeing one crop up.
