Yep. Agreed. I didn't not mean this. I spoke too quickly.

This is not my intent. It's simply from my lack of understanding. We'll
fix that and come to an agreement I'm sure. I just need to understand a
bit more. Please be patient with me :-)

Ok, I'm beginning to understand and I can easily change the
multichanges/dashboard project to use multiproject. However I'm still
unsure what it buys me.

Yes, this is a possibility. I'm not sure what it buys me over using
directly the reactor. I'll repeat what I said in another email. There
are 2 features I believe we need to support multiple projects:

1/ ability to run the same goal over several projects
2/ ability to aggregate reports

For 1/, yes, there is already the multiproject plugin and the reactor.
Are we saying we want to deprecate the reactor and promote using the
multiproject plugin. Isn't that a bit too "heavy". Unless the
multiproject offers additional features of course (I have to admit I
haven't looked too far in its plugin.jelly).

For 2/, we still need a solution and this where I'm proposing the
multireport plugin (see other mail).

Thanks
-Vincent
