Revision as of 06:52, 18 August 2009

Instead of gui_design, gui_graph, ... I would prefer

  • gui
    • design
    • graph
    • ..

argument_parser would be better as

  • parse
    • argument

About Gobo, it could be exploded into kernel, structure, time, parse, lexical, xml, ... But we can not do that, so what about adding a category "Package", or "Framework"
