I've been looking for ways to improve the hackability of WebCore, and one thing that's been bothering me is the organization of our files. It seems like we're due for a bit of "fall cleaning" for directories. We've talked about some of these ideas before, but I wanted to put them all in one email so we can see the big picture.
Below is a concrete proposal for moving some directories around. In this approach, we'll have a "Features" directory to contain logically self-contained features, like WebAudio and MediaStream, that are part of the engine but that aren't tightly coupled with the DOM, Layout, or Rendering. We'd also have a new "events" directory in "dom" to contain the large number of event-related files that we've accreted. The "history" directory would move into "page" (we could actually merge these directories because history is so small). Finally, "manual-tests" and "platform" would move out of WebCore entirely. Features/ <-- New folder for (roughly) self-contained features notifications/ storage/ fileapi/ webaudio/ mediastream/ workers/ websockets/ inspector/ manual-tests/ <-- Move outside of Source dom/ events/ <-- New folder for the 106 files that match dom/*Event* page/ history/ <-- Moved from top-level platform/ <-- Move to Source/Platform The "html" and "page" directories also contain a bunch of unrelated files (presumably because they're attractive locations for folks to add files). Once we do the directory moves above, I'll send out another proposal for cleaning up those directories a bit. Please let me know if you have any thoughts. Thanks!
