recall previous discussions there did not seem to be anybody against moving

<o:p></o:p></p>
<p><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial'>There
are a few matters to</span></font> <font size=2 face=Arial><span
style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial'>consider now though</span></font> <font

style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial'>class/instrument</span></font> <font
size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial'>definitions

<font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial'>the
definitions on their own by specifying a</span></font> <font size=2 face=Arial><span
style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial'>subpath of the URL, but</span></font>
<font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial'>I
think it would be</span></font> <font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:
10.0pt;font-family:Arial'>worth splitting them up into their own repository</span></font>
<font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial'>entirely</span></font>
<font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial'>(you
would have e.g.</span></font> <a href="http://svn.nexusformat.org/library"><font
size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial'>http://svn.nexusformat.org/library</span></font></a><font
size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial'> and</span></font>
<a href="http://svn.nexusformat.org/definitions/"><font size=2 face=Arial><span
style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial'>http://svn.nexusformat.org/definitions/</span></font></a> <font
size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial'> rather than
just</span></font> <a href="http://svn.nexusformat.org/"><font size=2
face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial'>http://svn.nexusformat.org/</span></font></a><font
size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial'> ) The
advantages of splitting is that you</span></font> <font size=2 face=Arial><span
style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial'>get tighter control over any actions
you want to do when files change and so do not sent messages about API changes</span></font>
<font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial'>to
definitions people.</span></font> <font size=2 face=Arial><span
style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial'>etc.</span></font> <font size=2
face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial'>The disadvantage is
that</span></font> <font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'>some tools (such as TRAC) work on a repository so you would</span></font>
<font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial'>need</span></font>
<font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial'>separate
instances. I think</span></font> <font size=2 face=Arial><span
style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial'>“definitions” and</span></font>
<font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial'>“library”
are sufficiently separate that this would be useful to do</span></font> <font

anybody else any thoughts, and is there anything else that it might be worth
separating?</span></font><o:p></o:p></p>
