[erlang-questions] best source layout with multiple applications

[Fred Hebert]

I personally tend to follow the Riak structure and recommend it around
for releases instead of having one top-level app and then the rest below
it. I'd be open to using lib/ instead of /apps, but feel like deps/ is
the best name for dependencies of the project (which aren't always about
other vendors or even third party libraries -- just stuff generic enough
to not be in the core project).


Regards,
Fred.
