Better to read on yoctoproject site
http://www.yoctoproject.org/

even with video :)
http://lists.linuxtogo.org/pipermail/openembedded-devel/2011-April/031742.html

they are much better at describing/documenting stuff then we are

In short:
There are couple of layers
oe-core with well tested core stuff and higher quality requirements for patches
meta-oe for recipes/classes and other usefull stuff from "old" oe
meta-efl similar rules like meta-oe but having only stuff related to efl/e17
meta-shr recipes/classes used only in SHR

meta-angstrom recipes/classes used only in Angstrom
meta-ti bsp layer for ti devices
etc...

each layer has own maintainers which apply stuff sent in form of git
pull requests, so there is lower chance that someone will accidentaly
break something (something like linux kernel is using for subtrees)

meta-shr layer currently has much more stuff then I would like to
maintain, that's why meta-efl was created and ie xorg stuff should be
moved to meta-oe later too

From ocasional SHR image builder it means, that he will continue to use
SHR Makefile to checkout all needed layers (make setup-shr-core), to
update all needed layers (make update) and building is the same (bitbake
"merges" metadata from all layers wrt conf/bblayers.conf), only when
changing metadata you need to know in which layer it should be changed
and where to send such patch (shr-devel ML or oe-core ML should be fine
and I'll consolidate valid patches in next pull request)
