Is there anyone else worried that the Drupal folder structure encourages users to drop modules or themes into the wrong place? Wouldn't you like to have a folder structure that separates core from the rest of the customizable sites folder? As this issue could blow up in the issue que (http://drupal.org/node/22336) perhaps a short discourse on the mailing list is in order. It's weird that we all care so much about coding standards and yet we let our folder structure look so thrown together. Perhaps I'm wrong. I have feeling the real reason we are putting up with such a confusing structure is that moving files can introduce a big wtf and some might think we should leave it well enough alone. On the other hand, I believe it's broken and not at all grokable for 100% of the newbies. For fun, here is D7's folder structure as it stands from drupal.org project packager (not cvs) five minutes ago: includes/ misc/ modules/ profiles/ scripts/ sites/ themes/ .htaccess CHANGELOG.txt COPYRIGHT.txt INSTALL.mysql.txt INSTALL.pgsql.txt INSTALL.txt LICENSE.txt MAINTAINERS.txt UPGRADE.txt authorize.php cron.php index.php install.php robots.txt update.php xmlrpc.php Thoughts and comments are very much appreciated and encouraged.
