libkdeedu and data would each just be new projects, like the other
apps. So probably data should be renamed to kdeedudata or kvtml-data.

for cmake we'd start off with a 'shell' project where you'd clone
other sub-projects in. At least, thats what the sysadmins suggested.

... so honestly I wonder if it wouldn't make sense to fix the modules
now to have each application be self-building. We should maybe think
about a new build-time dependency in kdesupport that has lots of misc
cmake files in it? Release management would be difficult. maybe just
feel free to move cmake files in the main modules to kdelibs? Or maybe
many of those cmake's aren't really being shared between multiple
kdeedu apps and it wouldn't create too much redundancy to simply
disperse the kdeedu/cmake to all the individual application
directories.

Obviously many of the above decisions shouldn't be made without
consultation of the kdeedu folks and/or k-c-d. But thanks for doing
this, it will help focus us on the issues of split repos and perhaps
we can continue the discussion that petered out without a resolution
in the other thread.
