Well, personaly I like baazar as it is - full freedom Wink

Rahter dividing it into two parts I would suggest naming examples apps with ExampleN postfix like DockingExample1,2,3 etc. Comments you proposed are ok.

Me too I like, but the problem is that just adding Bazaar nest to MyApps, for example, would not allow to select Bazaar example files, as only main packages in first assembly's nest are shown.... at least, if you don't enable "all packages" checkbox.
The "separation" of example stuffs it would allow to copy them on example folder upon installation and the selection of them like other examples.

Otherwise, we should add an BazaarExamples nest...

Well, we have discussed all this in depth, so I am posting my position for others:

I think that we should simply add Bazaar and Bazaar examples on per-package basis to regular uppsrc and examples (and perhapas reference), only marking then by "BAZAAR: package xyz by zyx, email: " in the description.

Alternatively, we can add bazaar and bazaar examples nests, but maybe just put them into all relevant assemblies.

Ok, so we have to choose between one of 2 solutions Smile

IMHO, in either cases, I think that a small change in package manager/selector would be helpful.
This change would consist in separate in a by-nest basis the packages, instead of having all of them listed alphabetically, with a "title" line in top of them, or as a tree-like presentation.
For example :

Upp core :
  package 1
  package 2
  .....
Bazaar contibutions :
  package 1
  package 2
  .......

There would be a "small" additional problem on how to deal with contributions/update of bazaar packages : if you want to put directly in uppsrc nest, you have to open uvs repo to contributors... or switch to svn. Alternatively, we can leave Bazaar as separated package (mantained on svn as it is now) and just copy it during setup in uppsrc nest and in reference/example nests. But, to automate this process, a restructuration of bazaar is needed.
The second option would be simpler, but again, we should separate bazaar code core from samples/reference.
