[Opensim-dev] Filesystem cleanup for OpenSim repository

[Michael Wright]

I've made a start by making OpenSim.Framework project a flat single directory one. It does lead to a large project (well when looking at it in VS 2005 and not being able to close some of the sub folders). But a number of those files we most likely don't even use while others most likely belong else where.

The one problem is that we still don't have namespace == directory on this project, as the directory is actually OpenSim/Framework/General. So we need to decide what way we go with that, move directories or fix the namespace?

 I don't say we do a massive rewrite, but just creating the right projects for it would be a great start.

Yeah I vote for less projects/assemblies too. Think we need to do a big restructuring of our projects and classes.

 OpenSim.Framework is kind of just a random collection of classes, some that would be better in other places. The same goes for OpenSim.Framework.Communications. 

We should have a "sponsored" Cleanup day. :)

directory structure makes finding relevant code a bit of a pain.

I suggest a grand cleanup in this space with the standard being Assembly
name wins. And example here would be the fact that the assembly:
OpenSim.Region.Environment is created out of 7 directories and
namespaces.

OpenSim/Region/Environment/Scenes/Scripting/
OpenSim/Region/Environment/Scenes/
OpenSim/Region/Environment/Interfaces/
OpenSim/Region/Environment/Types
OpenSim/Region/Environment/Modules
OpenSim/Region/Environment/LandManagement
OpenSim/Region/Environment

Either we should turn this into 7 assemblies, or we should collapse
these into a single namespace / directory. Comments on which direction
we should go would be welcomed. I'm happy to dig in on some cleanup
here early next week once a decision is made.

I personal vote for less assemblies, as we already have 22 of them if we
go by the current model, and maintenance on the build system is somewhat
linearly affected by assembly count.
