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.
All if these could be solved if the design of the wiki system wasn't broken. The URL should be just that, the URL, and structure of the Wiki was distinct.
IOW, it would be nice for separate wiki's to be able to be assembled any way we wanted.
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.
If we can do 'jakarta-cactus' until it's a TLP w/o much work to convert, that would probably be better...
