Been looking for myself lately...

http://www.cmu.edu/home/styleguide/
http://bcr.org/stylemanual/
http://writing.colostate.edu/references/teaching/web_teaching/guide16.cfm
http://www.kitehill.net/WebStyleLinks.htm

My favourite one so far - other than C/AIM - is...
http://usability.gov/

Hope that helps

> Hi there,
>
> After couple of years of efforts in 'UI design' and 'Usability' with my
> current employers, we have come to a point to build some kind of
> 'Guidelines' for maintaining usability and consistancy. The interface we
> build is for
> 'web/browser based' application. I wish to seek opinion on the following
> matters -
>
> 1. Is there any recomendation regarding 'Style and Structure' for
> 'Guidelines' for web based applications
> 2. Is there anything in the world which can tell us, what to comment and
> what not to? What makes a 'guideline' and what is simply an 'personal
> opinion'?
> 3. Is there any tool, which could help creating and managing those. My
> mentor forwarded me one pointer - www.guiguide.com Has anybody ever heard
> about it?
> 4. Is the word 'Guideline' makes sence in this regard. I have heard people
> arguing this against 'web style guide', what's the difference???
>
> I am looking for anything which could help me in this regard - papers,
> examples of 'guidelines/style guides', personal opinions or any pointers.
