What do other developers think of this? It will address one gripe that people have, which is the difficulty of doing upgrades.
My install system would address that too.
That is great.
I just don't like it because of the extra typing it requires of me, but I like the idea of seperating contrib and core modules/themes.
Yes. core, contrib AND configuration. This way Drupal core upgrade is very simple. Just rename the existing drupal directory and copy a new one in its place. Also, while we are re-organizing files, I feel we should move all modules into their own directories.
With our new propensity towards conditional including of code as needed, and the install system work which will end with multiple files per module, I feel it's necessary .
There could be name clashes with such a generic name. How about drlocal or something like that? We can even make that name configurable, by changing a file under the drupal directory, but then we are back to "configuration files under code directory" thing which we tried to avoid in the first place. Drupal will still have name clashes with things, due to the path system it uses; The htaccess will make entire parts of the system unavailable if such a directory already exists (ie: people who have an admin/ directory)
anything). This helps in cases where a host configuration gets botches up and php files are served as plain text, and people can see the passwords in the settings.php and other info. Could be a good idea, except some people might not have access to anything but their public_html directories.
