Yes, realm. Usually when we write a jelly script, or XSLT it won't make 
sense in other contexts. Also, some jellys make sense only for one 
resource configuration only, although there might be some global xslts.

For instance, all the jelly scripts and xslt about the image gallery 
should be somewhere in the same place, it's like a bunch of scripts that 
are used by one .yanel-rc file. So it should be somehow easy and natural 
to find these scripts after you look into .yanel-rc.

Yes, I agree, the conventions I am talking about could be like best 
practices.

For me the best thing would be to keep .yanel-rc together with dependent 
scripts (jelly and xslt). So I would have something like:
.../gallery/
   C/[with all the .yanel-rc, jelly, xslt files for creating]
   R/[with all the .yanel-rc, jelly, xslt files for reading]
   U/[with all the .yanel-rc, jelly, xslt files for modifying]
   D/[with all the .yanel-rc, jelly, xslt files for deleting]
.../wiki/
   C/
   R/
   U/
   D/
...etc.

This way it is clear what content are we talking about, what are the 
resources used for CRUD and what are related scripts(if any). This 
proposal, however, implies mixing what we currently keep in separate 
folders: 'data' and 'res-configs', so I am not sure how to configure 
everything.

What do you think?
