Merge several components

Friday, 04 January 2008

Have a look at admin components like com_content, com_typedcontent, com_categories, com_sections.
There are several components managing one logical component: com_content.
I know that other components can share the category table, but most components do not make use of it, so let categories get handled by each component itself and get rid of com_categories and com_sections.
com_typedcontent is a special case of com_content, so why sourcing it out?

Another example is com_modules, com_mambots, com_templates, com_installer. These components manage extensions, so why not merging those components that do similar things?

Its a pitty that Joomla 1.5 will continue with this old approach.
