If I might make a suggestion: perhaps it would be easiest / less
disruptive to users, is to move everything as-is, and then, if the
subprojects gain momentum on their own, break them out into
subprojects.  I don't know much about how they've been developed so
far, though.  And of course, it also depends on what the developers of
that code would prefer.

sourceforge.net just completed their svn beta and are
now offering svn repository for projects that they
host.  Would it be better for specialized/incomplete
applications to create their own project there until
they reach a level of maturity that the Ofbiz project
desires?  At that point, the OFBiz team could ask that
it be merged into the Apache OFBiz project.  

On a side note, is it possible to have svn set up so
that it checks out and writes to multiple
repositories?

If they went that route, and wanted to aim for re-integration, they'd
have to make sure that they keep a tight rein on licensing.  It's
likely they'd have to do iCLA's for new people they'd picked up.  To
become a subproject they'd also likely have to go through the whole
incubation thing, although it would be simpler at that point because
(if all goes well:-) OFBiz will be an established part of the ASF at
that time.

Would iCLAs be necessary if the subproject hosted on
sf.net used the Apache 2.0 license?

I have added the following static parms to each class I work on.

String major_version
String minor_version
String sinceofbizversion
String maxofbizversion

By modifying the Base java files that load classes it would check the
sinceofbizversion maxofbizversion to make sure the classes fit the
current ofbiz version.

This would force all classes to be checked before the maxofbizversion is
increased.

I have a Class the I can run that walks through all modules and prints
out the above information to the log as info.
