Best Practice for large customizations

Am about to start a project using nuxeo where we will be adding a significant number of new content types,
workflows etc etc...

I've played quite a bit with the sample project and that structure seems like a valid approach for one or two
content types but I could imagine over time this structure could become heavy and hard to maintain
especially with a team of developers working on that some project.

I'm looking for some feedback on the best way to structure a large nuxeo customization. Such as maybe
structuring like the sample app but separate projects for each content type or maybe a content types
project a separate workflow project etc.

Any feedback or comments most welcome...

cheers

Aaron

A separate project seems way overkill to me. Just split the type,  
schema etc. definitions in several files maintained by different  
developers. You can contribute several times to the same extension  
point, be that in one or several files, in the same or in different  
projects.
