Ted Dunning commented on MAHOUT-608:
------------------------------------

As I see it, this patch did the following:

moved conf under etc
moved a few files into etc
moved the appended resources out of src/main into etc

I don't much see the benefit here.  Moving a few files into etc is an 
improvement, but if conf is to be moved, it seems it should be moved into a 
resources directory under src/main rather than into etc.

Similarly, moving resources out of the maven standard sort of place (under 
src/main) doesn't seem a benefit.

How about an alternative where conf goes into mahout/src/main, the few files go 
into mahout/etc and the appended-resources sit still?

> The top-level project directory has collected, over time, a number of 
> directories that have a generally similar purpose: to collect various config 
> files, data files, and scripts. In addition toWe have, at first glance:
> bin/
>  mahout
> conf/
>  (various .props files)
> etc/
>  build.xml (reusable  Ant tasks?)
>  findbugs-exclude.xml
>  mahout.importorder
> mahout/
>  conf/
>   arff.vector.props (wrong place?)
> src/
>  main/
>   appended-resources/
>    META-INF/
>     NOTICE
>    supplemental-models.xml
>  site/
>   site.xml
> There are a few top-level generated directories:
> input/
>  ...
> output/
>  ...
> testdata/
>  transactions
>   test.txt
> I'd like to prune whatever isn't needed anymore, and rationalize one 
> directory structure as a start.
> Can anyone help by suggesting things to be removed, or a directory structure?
