Same here. >> BUT... >> >> I fully, fully, fully agree about the use of namespaces. > > OK, great! Now, are the namespaces I've suggested workable?

Should we put everything in a single directory? No, I think breaking it up is nice. We don't _have_ to do dir per namespace, but I think it's a nice mirroring... >>> I think that moving to such a directory structure and namespace >>> organization will be helpful for developers to better organize code (in >>> their heads) and also may help if certain functionality will eventually >>> be made into a stand-alone library (for instance /drizzled/parser/ >>> ->libdrizzleparse) I agree re: breaking things up into libs. Also, we can make things into little libtool conv. libs like we're doing with field, etc. now. If all of the drizzled::field stuff is in /drizzled/field and gets compiled to libdrizzlefield.la, then it's easy to know where to look for stuff. I'm not dogmatic about it - but at the same time, I'm not sure there's any good excuse to not follow the convention once we decide on it. One of the tasks Python took on in Python 3.0 was a normalization and re-org of the standard lib. I think it's a worthwhile endeavor... and one that will serve us well here. FWIW, I started playing with namespacing drizzled::field the other day. (wanted to try to get rid of fstring and fdecimal and use drizzled::field::string and drizzled::field::decimal.) It was working out, but won't be a very quick change. On the other hand, I think it will let us shorten some names, because right now we're doing things like Field_decimal, which is a very pure-C way of faking namespaces. Just my €0.02.
