I have discussed this with you many times on IRC.  The core part of the
phpGW (admin, addressbook, calendar, email, filemanager, notes,
preferences, setup todo) function as one.  

You have even agreed that it wasn't your preferred option, but you would
accept it.

Most application versions are nothing more than a db schema change.
When module APIs change there is no version bump.

No, what we agreed is that some modules would be included in a core
module.  The list of such modules was well publicised and agreed.

I don't think that there is any need to shout especially in emails which
you know are being sent after the fact.  You had ample opportunity to
discuss this further on IRC.

Rather than engage is an adult discussion on IRC this evening (my time)
you chose to be hostile.  I will readily admit that I was annoyed about
the situation and let this show in the discussion.

If you wished to change the agreed position on how the tree was to be
structured you were free to do so, but not via svn commits.  You should
have raised this on this list before commencing.

Cheers

Dave
