OK, you fear that projects composed of several modules (like
applications + plugin + macro) will be painful to handle from maven PoV
if they are scattered over different folders.
My only concern is that we might get project names that are not very
descriptive (one would have to go and see its sources or pom.xml to know
what it does). But we (XWiki Dev Team) can always interfere here as it
concerns the repository organization, not projects themselves. Thomas Mortagne wrote:

Don't you think it's good to have that distinction by type of project ?
Do you think we can manage this by project names ? (for example
"plugin-myplugin", "application-myapplication") It would mean making
sure contributors name their projects properly (it's easier to have them
create their projects in the proper directory properly IMO).
Don't mix
projects and maven artifacts, as i said most of our
applications have a corresponding plugin/component with the same
version you would like to release all in once.
For me it should be based on what you want to build, we will never
want to build all the xlet/applications/trunk/ but
build/release/branch/etc.. xlet/myproject/trunk/ all in once will be
needed. If we separate all, it will just make contributor life a pain
for nothing, list project is already http://code.xwiki.org. It also
mean we can handling committers rights by project, if we see this as a
start of a XWiki forge we should definitely organize by project and
not by maven artifacts types.
At worst why not have theses artifact type project base folder but we
also need a "project" folder or something like that where you can put
a more important contribution which have more than just one artifact.
And as you said we are creating the project on svn
so we can decide that a name does not fit with the provided
description when someone ask for a new project in XWiki contrib
repository.
Also i really think we should think of security, even if we don't do
it from the starts, if we organize by project it will be a lot easier
to add rights management support the same we do this with project in
svn.xwiki.org based on some ProjectClass objects rights in
forge.xwiki.org for example instead of based on a group in some wiki.
Would be a good start for a real XWiki forge and we already have
everything we need to do it.
Anyway, +1 from me for this organization, you've convinced me.
Jerome.
