About v8, I support the initial idea of splitting the modules into many
small repos. Let me argue a bit about this:

- especially with git, it is super-easy to make branches even for small
modifications. Having many modules in the same branches means that if you
have two feature branches that add or change two different modules in the
purchase-wkfl project, you cannot use them at the same time, not cleanly.

- once (soon, I'm sure!) we will have travis test runs for unit tests and
flake8 on all oca branches, we will be able to see in github that a branch
is green and that a PR makes it red. Small repos make it super-easy to find
the culprit and take action. The test runs become smaller, faster and more
atomic. This will make our life as code reviewers incredibly easier IMHO,
in addition to the "merge" button.

Git submodules or subtrees are tools that group together many repos in a
big repo as subdirectories. This basically means that we get the best of
both worlds (we have the original big repos that have the modules as
subtrees/submodules). I do not believe these to be black wizardry: it is
just that git is used in big projects with many modules, and being very
much used, good and generic solutions for those problems we have problems
are already there.

The disadvantages seem very small to me:
- Finding the projects is harder: I do not believe so. There will be the
subtree repo looking like the old ones, plus we can look them up in a wiki
page / apps site or something.
- Needs some initial work by some git experts: True. Someone with more
experience than me could give more details please? I believe Joël for
example make some research in that.

For v7, I still think that the original a) proposal by Joël or making an
as-is mirror of the v7 branches immediately on github, with a read-only
mirror back to launchpad is my favorite option. Reason: when we will start
to work on v8 on github, it will be complex to handle the two at the same
time.

Thanks to all for your time!
