Hello,

I'm CC-ing the Ubuntu Wanted development mailist to inform the other
people too.

You suggest to reunite the codebase in the meaning of sharing the
underlying MVC-architecture? That would of course be possible and I
think it would be a good thing for the code quality to have multiple
projects working on it.
However, at the moment the new MVC-models aren't finished yet, I'm
currently working on finishing the implementation of the
Model::store() functionality. Furthermore it has also been written for
Drupal 5, although it's possible easy to migrate since not many Drupal
functions are used within the code base.

The biggest problem would be how to share the code, most likely in a
separate Bazaar branch -- does Bazaar allow you to have a repository
be a directory inside another repository like SVN does? -- and
decouple it from the rest.

Did you already have a look at lp:~qense/ubuntu-wanted/qevel ? That's
my working directory and it contains the latest code.

Maybe we should meet on IRC or Jabber for a discussion of this when
things are a bit more clear.

Regards,
