Project Splitup

[Geoff Evans]

Hello everyone, I hope you are well :)

Just wanted to drop a line and give a status update.  Things are going pretty slow lately, but are creeping forward.  The engine integration is still going, but things are nearly there.

I think I am going to endeavor to split up the 'Helium' projects into component that are more re-usable.  There are some really cool and handy frameworks in our project, but having everything in one big repository kind of makes it hard to fork on github (or use off-the-shelf in general).

My current plan is to use git submodules and split things up like so: Platform / Foundation / Reflect / Engine.  This will still leave a bulk of the code in Engine, but we can take a fresh look at how to divvy that up once these major pieces are split.

Thoughts?

I'm a huge fan of at least Reflect getting split out, as I'd like to use that in other projects that potentially can't make use of the actual Engine bits.

+1 from me.  I have become a much bigger fan of loose coupling lately.
