Re: [Babeldoc-devel] Temp branch

[Michael A. <mic...@ze...>]

Hi,

I think that we should probably look at guidelines for 1.3, and try to
do as much as possible without breaking anything.  I'm happy to move the
jfreereports stuff into a separate project, even for 1.3.  It's not in
1.2, so there are no issues with compatibility.

In order to set the guidelines, a few questions: what constitutes a core
module (i.e.: one which goes into com.babeldoc.core.pipeline or
com.babeldoc.scanner)?  Or a secondary (i.e.: it goes into e.g.:
com.babeldoc.sql.*), or a peripheral module (i.e.: into it's own CVS
project and separate jar files)

As far as the mechanics go, what about having a "contrib" top-level
project, into which any developer can place any experimental code. 
Postgres do this, and it seems to work quite well.  When something in
contrib is considered to have matured enough, and be demanded enough, to
be in the core system, it's migrated from contrib into the main project.

Thoughts...

PS: I added a stack of directories before branching, I'm not sure if
they appear on the HEAD now.  Anybody getting the new directories when
they "cvs update"?
