I had missed this. My apologies.

I checked out the source code for Go and Node.js but it *appears* that the main repos for both are self-contained. I do like Git submodules and I would definitely say that we consider them. But they have many issues of their own. Therefore I would like to see some examples of projects that are using an arrangement similar to what is proposed. If I know that other projects are successfully using this pattern then I would be happy. > In short, in order to encourage contribution I want to go for the project > structure that is the most welcoming, both to older big-codebase developers > like me, and to the more recent more-projects=better school I am less familiar with the latter, so forgive me for being a bit old-school. I'm not the sprightly young developer I used to be, back when migrating projects from CVS to Subversion was cool ;-) Thanks Richard
