There are two ways to setup a development tree, and both do have their
pros and cons:
1) Function-oriented approach: Like my suggestion, all content is first
divided for the function of the content: Source code, documentation...
and then divided for subprojects.
2) Project-oriented approach: Each project has its own directory, where
subdirectories contain source code, documentation...

On my projects I prefer the fist approach, I want all code in one place
for easy compiling (doing mostly Perl and C). OTOH since RPMs contain
both compiled code and documentation it might be wise to go
project-oriented. But then, the spec file tells rpm where to find it's
files... For people who just want to take a look the function-oriented
approach is easier to use (I guess). Chuck, think about both approaches
and then do it the way *you* like most. I'll cope with any directory
structure if necessary.

Best regards,
