Hi Jacopo,
Given that specialpurpose is something which is getting less attention from
the community anyway, I would imagine it to be more of an administrative
headache to split the repository out into components. I really like your
first idea of ofbiz/framework and ofbiz/applications and then to add
/specialpurpose separately.
If a specialpurpose component _really_ matures and gets a lot of attention
from the community it should probably go into /ofbiz/applications or
/ofbiz/framework anyway!
So yeah +1 for the above solution. I would feel much safer working with
13.07 once I know what's going to happen exactly with specialpurpose.
Best,
Taher Alkhateeb
