RE: [imp-dev] Proposed reorg of IMP SVN repository structure

["Ed Willink" <ed@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi

Seems like a really good idea to me.

I found the existing structure a major pain.

[What use is a project set; I've never learnt to use them, and
surely you can't use the project set till you've checked it out?]

	Regards
