I don't have look at details of the vtiger6 structure vtiger6 and I
think it isn't a perfect system, <br>
but I think anything inside the modules directory will be deleted on
release date and later modules will be only in vtiger6 directory.<br>
<br>
My experience is, that files from "modules" Directory won't be used
inside new vtiger6 theme.<br>
<br>
But probably it's true, most/all vtiger developer prefer one hard
redesign, without compatibility, before lots of little changes,
which needs lots of tests/work with every version.<br>

keeping the vtiger5 code operational?! You forked your own
modules to create the vtiger6 subfolder. I have no idea how I'm
supposed to merge a branch that contains a partial copy of
itself, much less attempt to preserve any sort of merge/edit
history. This is the largest bowl of copy pasta I've ever
encountered in fifteen years of professional development. It
shows a grave lack of restraint and/or understanding of how to
refactor a system while keeping it operational.</div>

Adam,

</div>
<div>We did have a look at several frameworks and evolved a

<div>our dev-team is on making progress.</div>

<div>Please do share your feedback if you find anything

<div dir="ltr">I'm poking around in vgcal right
now and am extremely glad to see how
much Zend code it uses. Did you guys consider
using ZendFramework 2 MVC instead of rolling
your own for vtiger6?</div>
