I think that we should approach the "assemble server from plugins"
idea in stages:
1. build all the plugins inside the current server/trunk build
framework and assemble the server from these. This is almost
working locally.... maybe this weekend.
2. distribute the sets of related plugins into a different svn
layout with unconnected release cycles and figure out how to end up
with a usable server with so many moving parts. :-)
So in line with (1) I'd like to see the new console move ASAP,
perhaps temporarily, into maybe server/trunk/plugins where we can
immediately start including it in servers without having to solve (2).
Now that #1 above (assemblies created using plugins) is available in
trunk I can go ahead and move the new console under server/trunk/
plugins like David suggested as a transitional step towards #2
(plugins maintained and released separately from the server). I
will go ahead and move the new console to that location for the
transitional phase unless there is strong support around going
straight for #2.
i.e. if someone wants to figure out how to build assemblies from
multiple moving parts in the 2.1 time frame then please chime in
before I "hard wire" the console and its various plugins into server/
trunk.
Best wishes,
Paul
