Does this mean we can have

Where turbine and whatever are distinct and separate, not just parts of /jakarta?

Not quite - the wiki urls would all be at the same level.


Using separate wikis thus:

   ...../jakarta
   ...../turbine
   ...../jakarta-commons

has a few advantages:
1. Oversight can be improved by sending change diffs to the list most appropriate to the wiki concerned. 2. Potential migration of subprojects to top level projects could simplified (especially if we use, for example, "turbine" rather than "jakarta-turbine" as the name of the turbine wiki).
3. Separate wikis means independent namespaces for WikiWords.


Including links between separate wikis is easily achieved through the use of InterWiki links.

Would anyone like to comment on a preferred naming convention - i.e. "turbine" vs "jakarta-turbine" (I see we now have "jakarta-cactus" and "jakarta-tapestry"). I don't know if it is difficult to change the name of a wiki from say "jakarta-cactus" to just "cactus" if say cactus were to become a top level project in the future, so perhaps just "cactus" might have been a more future-proof choice.
