## New Directory Structure

Old:
/app
/core

New:
/packages
  /legacy (main?)
    /core (existing)
    /* config files (existing) - such as metro configs, etc
  /core - new architecure efforts
    /components
    /services
  /cli - scripts / bootstrap scripts
  /templates -- template application -- generates an example application w/simple defaults tied back to core
    /develop -- purpose to be able to quickly test RN components -- point to the local packagees
    /base - primary -- should be pointing to NPM
    /chat
  /oca -- (npm - @aries-bifold/oca)
/app (or app or bifold or example) -- boilerplate config, no config (existing)


Components must be refactored out of legacy


BCWallet (today)
/app -- BC-specific
  components
    add (@aries-bifold/core) here over time
/bifold -- submodule -- deprecate over time
  /core


Gameplan:
- James to do the migration PR Thursday
- Akiff to test Thursday/Friday
- OCA Contribute Friday -- Akiff
- Mostafa -- contribute Friday/Later?
