The R Internals manual that is shipped with R also has a section on
coding standards:

http://cran.r-project.org/doc/manuals/R-ints.html#R-coding-standards

though this is quite short and does not go into detail of naming
conventions etc. This document also points to the GNU Coding Standards
which R aims to follow.

The R Developer Page has some useful information, such as guidelines for
writing *.Rd files: http://developer.r-project.org/ and the Writing R
Extensions manual has a lot of information on writing packages, cross
platform portability etc:

http://cran.r-project.org/doc/manuals/R-exts.html
