Hi,

In order to better organize our SVN/JIRA I propose to implement the following refactoring:

1) Release all platform modules simultaneously. Rationale: make it easy to release and to ensure all versions work together. 2) Remove notion of core. Keep only notion of platform. It's up the products/projects to hand pick whatever components they need from the platform. 3) Move in SVN platform/core/* to platform/components/ except for platform/core/xwiki-core which is moved to platform/xwiki-core/ (while waiting to be split into components) 4) in JIRA create a new category named "XWiki Platform Components" and have one jira project for each top level module in platform/ components/. Move the "XWiki Core" jira project from the "XWiki Core & Products" category to the "XWiki Platform Components" category. 5) In JIRA rename "XWiki Core & Products" to "XWiki Top Level Projects" 6) Create some tools on dev.xwiki.org to help with releases (using swizzle jira). Namely: - a tool to automatically add a version to a set of jira projects (we'll need to do that to manipulate all jira projects in "XWiki Platform Components" all together). Same to release a version

WDYT?

Note that I've tried imagining keeping all platform modules under the same jira project but I've ruled it out since that doesn't work well for several reasons: * there's no notion of sub-components in jira which would mean creating hundreds of jira components... * we already have some modules in separate jira projects * it may happen that we may want to occasionally release a module separately in the future for some reason

Sounds good. I have this small question about /platform, why only some sub dirs use "xwiki-" prefix? like xwiki-applications, xwiki-plugins and xwiki-tools while the rest is simply core, gwt, pom, skins and web? I'm just curious.... Thanks. - Asiri
