Excellent work Esteban!
​Question for the list:
What are groups?
What do they model?
What problem do they solve? (or why are they useful)
When managing configurations, choosing the right
granularity is critical to reducing the amount of
work needed. Groups allow one configuration to
be used to manage multiple combinations of packages.
With groups it becomes easier to manage variants.
Seaside can be used with any combination of
adapters, rest, jQuery, Scriptaculous, Bootstrap etc.
The simplest example was shown by Esteban in the
screencast: in a production environment one might want to
not load the test packages, so one has groups
core, test and default (=core+test).
Our tools currently do not support groups well
enough, as we don't register which groups are
loaded in the system.
