Re: [gmt-dev] Initial CVS structure

Not saying that re-factoring is easy. Precisely because it's not easy,
larger pieces of initial code should be parked outside the core structure,
so that the core structure stays clean and does not have to be re-factored
all the time.

The suggested approach gives everyone a chance to evaluate the initial
assets that are submitted. The initial submissions from various corners may
not be compatible amongst each other and may - in parts - be in conflict
with the intended GMT architecture. Let's discuss the core tool architecture
in the form of UML diagrams first, before we jump in and carve out elaborate
directory structures.

Hi,
This link to some project guidelines may help

http://www.eclipse.org/tools/docs/project-guide.html

I suggest that before anything is added to cvs you consider what
(a) Your main "areas" are
(b) the appropriate sub categories within each level will be (see below).
(c) The appropriate level for commit access (see the guidelines above)

Its easy  to say "As we make progress on the four core components, the
existing code can be refactored to reside in the appropriate places..."
However, it might not be as painless as you make it seem, especially as you
get further on into the project.

Also consider such things as:
(a) location of documentation, ie will there be a central location for all
(ie
a documentation project if you like), or will each component provide this,
or
perhaps we have a combination of both.
(b) The build structure (which may affect the structure within each
component).
