[Rssview-developers] New package structure [RFC]

[Martin <cin...@gm...>]

Hi,

we have discussed about changing the package structure,
but before we go ahead, we should actually have a structure.
So let's discuss a bit how to separate the sources, so
we can better find them later during the development process.

I also noticed that we have dead sources, so we should
mark them as dead or remove them directly from the
repository.

Many sources are written by You, so my suggestions
might be incomplete and false here. Please help me
to extend them. I will explain in short words my
idea to separate the files.

I would like to see the sources separated according
to use cases, e.g. "main window", "configuration",
"channel management", "database storage" etc.
So when you look at "MODEL:" with subcategory
subscription, we should rather add it to "channel
management".

I have made some work to determine where a piece of
source belongs, but it's not a final decision at
all. I don't want to separate the sources according
to MVC (model-view-controller), because it will be
difficult to follow the processes which a user
walks along and which we need to keep together to
work efficiently.
The MVC structure below exists ONLY to make some
helping subcategories.

I await your comments, before I go ahead.

After we have agreed on a structure, we will give
a deadline to make last commits.

Here are my first thoughts,
Martin
