For the repository organization, I propose the
following :
xlet/ (http://svn.xwiki.org/svnroot/xwiki/xlet/)
|__applications/
|__trunk/
|__xapp1/
|__xapp2/
[...]
|__xappN/
|__branches/

|__tags/

|__extensions/

|__macros/

Each of the first level sub-directory (applications, extensions,
macros,
etc.) having the same meaning of is currently defined on
code.xwiki.org
WDYT ?
+1
Note: It's important to write somewhere clearly that Xlet projects are
not done by the xwiki dev team and not supported by the xwiki dev team
(and thus that the quality depends on the contributor(s)).
It could also be mentioned that at some point an Xlet project could be
elected to become a platform project if the interest is generic, if
it's voted and if the quality is good enough.
