Hi,

I wander why we need a branch whereas there is not yet a delivery ?
Since the 0.8-dev is not yet released, I think we can continue in the same 
branch (HEAD) as we already did with the dispatcher v2.
If some - like me - wants to help with the v3 of the dispatcher, we don't have 
to change of branch.
If some wants to continue with the stable version, they keep on with the 
current org.apache.forrest.plugin.internal.view.

I don't think we are much to work with the two following plugins :
org.apache.forrest.plugin.internal.structurer
org.apache.forrest.plugin.output.themer

so Thorsten may update these with his latest devs.

WDYT ?

Cyriaque,

Creation of the dispatcher refactoring branch

       I'm a little confused here. This is not a branch, it is a new
       directory within the branches repository.

What are you intending on doing in here and why is it not a true branch?

Ross
   It is not a true branch because I will change 5% of the trunk.

I have copied the related resources into the branch and renamed them.

Now I can
   ln -s them with the trunk again. It is like I am working with the
   trunk but

doing the editing in the dispatcher branch. This way we do not have to
merge the branch, because the resulting work will replace all
view/dispatcher related work of the trunk.

I thought I should use a branch for it. That is what you suggested the
   other time (or better said I understood).

Is there a problem with the chosen method?
I did suggest a *branch*, but this is not a branch.

I foresee a few problems:


1) Non standard use of SVN therefore difficult to trace what is actually done (especially historically) 2) "ln -s" does not work on windows platforms, therefore a number of devs are prevented from participating (even as testers) 3) The "branch" already has a directory structure that is different from trunk (samples) How much of a problem these will become I am not sure, but at the very least (2) is working against the community.

Ross
