Hey,
I have heard that this is a big issue with Inkscape development, and this is one of those that prevents new coders from helping out. If the issue is more than just the directory, I believe there should be changes in the source code to make it easier for developers. How feasible is fixing the source code?

Hi Miguel, could you elaborate on this issue and how it affects new users?
Thanks, Bryce

Hi all,
At the hackfest we discussed a revised directory structure to better organize our code, This is a heads up that we plan on doing this reorganization in a couple of week (to give time for existing patches, etc. to land).
The purpose of the reorganization is to make it more obvious where to find different pieces of code. At the moment our code tends to be distributed over lots of different directories (especially the code that manipulates SVG and the code for our 100+(!) GUI elements).
The proposed directory structure can be found at:
http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/Source_Directory_StructureYou can comment on the proposed change here or on the wiki page.
We also discussed a requirement that all files should have at least one or two sentences to document what their contents does. This should really help new developers (and prevent code duplication).
