Hi, Coming from a workplace where we modularise everything, if someone from our committers base offers to drive the effort, I'd suggest creating one Git repo per module (e.g. browsermap, devicemap-dot-net, devicemap-website, and the Java modules).
Since I haven't kept a close eye on the Java stuff, I'm not sure which of the modules we actually want to keep moving forward (the root pom indicates device-data and then another project that lists some other modules - classifier, simpleddr). BTW, the folder names should be the same as the artifacts' names, to avoid confusion. Another module, devicemap-documentation, should contain any documentation that should be delivered to consumers plus examples. We could optionally create a root git repo that would bring in all the modules from above using gitslave for people who'd like to easily clone all our modules under one file system branch.
