Bug ID: 67408
Summary: Split Wikibase Lib
Product: MediaWiki extensions

OS: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: WikidataRepo

WikibaseLib is currently a "kitchen sink" of things used by both client and
repo. This is quite bad. It should be split up into modules with clear
boundaries. For now, they can stay in the same git repository, but they should
be moved to separate directories, on the same level as "repo", "client", "lib",
etc.
Some possible new modules:
* engine (the mediawiki independent part of the repo)
* core (basis for the engine - maybe already covered by DataModel)
* formatters (could go into DataValue/xxx)
* parsers (could go into DataValue/xxx)
* validators (can they go into the repo module)
* storage (read-only)
* serializers (already being moved/replaced)
One thing to consider is also that the repo wiki would almost always want to
also have (at least some) client functionality. The repo being its own client
is really the standard use case. So it would be fine for the repo module to
depend on the client module, so things like language fallback could just be
defined in the client.
Side note: we may want to move messages to the new components. That needs to be
coordinated with the i18n folks (Siebrand, in particular).
