The master is being split in OTP apps, with the specific goal of
being reusable.
Actually, there is not much left in the ‘zotonic.app’, almost everything
is moved to the other (OTP) apps.
So I guess having a Mix (/Elixir) project that people can clone could
be a good starting point for Elixir devs.

So if an Elixir source file defines the Elixir equivalent of a function:
observe_some_event/2
Then in the function definitions I can find just that function?
And the module itself would be loaded as ElixitSomModuleName?
That would make it quite straightforward to integrate Elixir code
into the notification system.
