(proposals at bottom)

Okay, this last post was not thought through well.
Too much coding does that to a guy :)

I, of course, ment ORG.apache. Avalon, I ment without
the org as that is a gaming something.

Cornerstone - a service can be one block or it can
be multiple blocks. A block can be a service or it
can not be a service.
I've never seen a use case where a block is not
useful as a service, though. So we don't need to
split stuff this way as far as package naming goes.
We could do with a naming convention, though.

Phoenix - no-one really programs to all those
interfaces outside of phoenix anyway. All the
stuff users access is in phoenix.interfaces.*
(or will be).

Like pete said, it needs some cleaning. I'll leave
further discussion for the phoenix list tho'.

yup. The versioning I proposed is not fair as we
are talking about some major changes (the api
becomes completely unusable without a recompile).


------------------------
So the proposal becomes:

I propose we strip out the "avalon" part in the
package hierarchy for the next major release of
the various sub-projects.

So, for:
avalon framework 5 - org.apache.framework.*
avalon excalibur 5 - org.apache.excalibur.*
avalon cornerstone 5 - org.apache.cornerstone.*
avalon phoenix 5 - org.apache.phoenix.*
avalon logkit 2 - org.apache.logkit.*

-------------------
proposal 2 becomes:

I propose we strip out the "blocks" and
"services" part in the package hierarchy before
the alpha release of cornerstone (v4). We will
release a cornerstone-compat.jar as well
that keeps the separation.

cheers,

- Leo

No reason to change it from

org.apache.log
