[xwiki-dev] [Proposal] New SVN directory structure to accommodate the different applications we have

[Ludovic Dubost]

I'm giving an overall +1 to Vincent's proposal except for the xarlets.
I feed that having the xarlets in the platform will either make us end 
up with small applications in the platform, or have us mix small and big 
apps in xwiki-applications.
I think we need xarlets outside but not in xwiki-applications.

So

1/ I agree with  stephane xarlets should not be in the platform
2/ I agree with vincent that applications should be "big packages" like 
watch, curriki, chrono,  xem.. It does not means they have to have java 
plugins but it means they deserve the "product" or "application" name..

So maybe

xwiki-xarlets (small XWiki applications)
xwiki-products (product level XWiki applications)
