Hi Evie, a good place to start is to examine an established company's style guide. One example is Google's JavaScript Style Guide. You can see that it is broken up into several categories. Create a document and start defining your own. You'll probably have the most difficulty with building consensus, but you have to start somewhere.

My recommendation is to start with 2-3 items. Let's say 2 related to formatting (tabs and spacing are always a good place to start) and 1 relating to app / folder structure, then go from there.
