Over the last few releases a number of new classes and other files have been added. Now that I work on adding more services it becomes really obvious that it is time to think about re-structuring the way the files in the core folder are organized.

Another issue is that I am not too happy with the ‘core’ folder itself, so that name might change too!

One thing I’d like to archive at the same time is to split files into generic and store-application specific. For example, the database related classes are pretty much self contained and (except for the ZMZenCartDatabase implementation) do not depend on zen cart in any way. Same is true for some of the services, MVC code and other. All in all another step to separate the framework from Zen Cart/store code.

Since class loading does not depend on files being in any specific folder/locations. That means upgrading ZenMagick by replacing the zenmagick folder should be safe and nothing else should be required.
