To sum up this long discussion thread 1. I've updated the two wiki pages( [1],[2] ) to contain the topics we've discussed here. I see Dan has been doing the same, so thanks for that. Any omissions are accidental, please update the pages if I missed something.
2. We don't have a definite answer for two topics - resource serialization format and Sling -> workspace serialization ( automatic vs manual ) so I'll be careful not to commit to a specific option when I'm going to touch those areas of the code. 3. As the next step, I'm going to restructure the repo to follow the structure outlined in [1] and propose moving it to contrib once it's stable. Thanks to all who contributed in this discussion thread, I'm now aware of a couple more issues to tackle with the IDE tooling.
