Hi,

I had the opportunity to go through a few different projects today all 
relating to build management. Theres currently 3 (that I know of) projects 
that are using the gump project and its data as a basis for more advanced 
build systems.

Many of the extra data of these projects could be shared and it would be good 
to add this data to main repository. Would this be a good idea? For example 
there are at least two things that I could see being added to gump 
descriptors that would be useful across the board. One is something like 
mailing lists per module - ie add something like the following to gump 
descriptors.

  <mailing-lists> 
    <mailing-list mail="[EMAIL PROTECTED]" 
                  subscribe="[EMAIL PROTECTED]" 
                  unsubscribe="[EMAIL PROTECTED]"/>    
  </mailing-lists>

This could even be reused by the notification/nag stuff Stefans planning to 
write.

The other stuff is the source directories in the project - maybe something 
like the following could be added to project elements.

<java-src> 
  <dir>src/java</dir>
  <dir>src/main</dir>
</java-src>

This would also support the request made by Edgar Villanueva in the previous 
mail.

I am happy to start updating the descriptors of projects I interact with. Not 
everything needs to be done imediately (or at all) but it would be useful to 
at least share this commonality between the different approaches?

Thoughts?
