Should we qualify the term modules? Meaning instead of modules and sandbox
we have something like

modules
sandbox-modules
thirdparty-modules

Modules (I'm open to a qualifier like official-modules) would be official
modules in Seam...stuff that is going into EAP. sandbox would be modules we
want to put into core, but they just aren't ready yet or may never be.
thirdparty would be modules we are hosting for a community member but we
don't want to maintain. For instance, perhaps the host the tapastry
integration module or whatever. I'd be interested in doing that with
examples too.

examples
sandbox-examples
thirdparty-examples

Thoughts? This should be easy to add without affecting what you have setup
already.

On another topic, we should definitely have tests confined to each module.
That's sort of obvious given they are each their own project now. I would
also like to see more tests. The biggest obstacle to test writing today is
that it is just too much of a time sink to create a test and get it to pass.
It takes me 5 times as long to do a test as to fix the problem. I really
want to see us make testing easy so that we get tests when we get patches.
It's not so much for us as it is for the community and getting them to
help/participate.
