Currently we have two primary templates that you can start a project
with -- WOApplication/WOFramework and WOnder Application/WOnder
Framework. I would like to propose that we just have one template
set, and I propose that the one should be the WOnder style.
In almost every respect it is better than the previous defaults.
It's WAY easier for new folks to begin working on projects. You
don't have to think about includes and excludes -- You just put
things in the right folders and it works. Note that these templates
really have nothing to do with Wonder, it just happens to be the
Wonder project layout. Obviously this has zero impact on existing
projects, only new projects going forward. At the very least, I
believe Wonder should be the default style, but in the long run it's
much less confusing to go ahead and scrap the original templates and
present just the wonder versions.
I have been building all of my projects with this for several months,
and obviously Wonder itself uses them, and it really is painless in
comparison ... With the non-Wonder templates, I always had to play
the guessing game of wondering if resources/wsr will end up in the
right place. With Wonder, it Just Works (TM). There is also the
potential of being able to further integrate Wonder's very nice
(thanks Anjo) ant build system in the future, but given that I mostly
hate ant, I don't want to think too much about that part :)
