Dion, Is there a reason why a project's repository URI cannot be orthogonal to whatever file system naming convention is adopted for downloadable parts? I think that it has to be orthogonal if we are to federate with other repositories without having to incorporate them by value. And it

i think that maybe organization / project would be better that /project/[subproject/..]. i think that including organization would a good idea for a couple of reasons. first, it would make it pretty clear that it's an URI is for an ASF jar. secondly, it would allow expansion later for non-ASF

i think that maybe organization / project would be better that /project/[subproject/..]. More stable, less fragile. Still provides for qualified the naming space, and is more in keeping with how we've been doing package naming. I don't know if it needs to be a directory hierarchy, though.
