One very minor thought, this could help people (like me) who are trying to get a footing in the codebase...

Try to come up with alternatives to "src/" as a directory name for things that are internal to the top-level src/ dir.

Ie, what part of the system am I actually in when I navigate to https://github.com/downpoured/vipercard/tree/master/src/src/src?

I think it would be something like /src/vpc/vpccore? (That was finally obvious the 3rd time I looked, but names could make that realization come sooner.)

Thanks again for all this.

That makes sense.

My intention was to refrain from using 'vpc' or 'vipercard' to contain 'ui512', since ui512 can be used independently, but I can see that it would be confusing.

The top level directory doesn't serve much of a purpose, except that when the root directory is mostly empty, the readme text is more visible when viewing in GitHub :)

I've moved the code to /vipercard/vipercard/src
