Firmware modification guidelines?

[MWPau]

Hi guys,

So im thinking about implementing the CAN Recieving change mentioned in the last couple of comments here: http://www.msextra.com/forums/viewtopic ... 25&t=59438
I'll be doing so with the aim of submitting it and having it merged into the next alpha/beta firmware. So i want to do it right.

I've looked around a little, and i can't seem to find any general information on how you guys (devs) like to keep the firmware organised especially regarding settings/mem page use.
For example, my change may require a 16x8 byte array for bitmasks.
Where should i put this? I gather in page28 with the other can recv settings (assuming there is room), but do i put it at the start, at the end, or doesn't it matter?
Can i eat into those reserved sections or not (what is "ind")?
etc, etc.

Thanks.
