 === Current Project Structure ===
+The Subversion repository for the PHP Documentation project is currently stored in the
+[[https://svn.php.net/viewvc/|main PHP repository]] under [[https://svn.php.net/viewvc/phpdoc/|phpdoc]].
+It is divided into two main subsections, and a number of active and inactive translations.

+== Properties ==
+Modules are achieved using the Subversion property known as svn:externals. This prop allows external
+Subversion paths to be linked into the project by URL.
+''doc-en Module Example''
+  doc-base https://svn.php.net/repository/phpdoc/doc-base/trunk
+  en https://svn.php.net/repository/phpdoc/en/trunk
+=== Proposed Git Structure ===
+Because of a few technical limitations of the Git version control system, some major structural changes
+are required for the transition to Git from Subversion. First and foremost, Git does not support
+partial check-outs of a subsection of the repository.
+Because of this, the project much be split into several independent repositories, and "wrapper"
+repositories whose function is to define a set of submodules that make up each translation's project.
+== Doc-Base ==
+Since the doc-base path of the PHP Documentation project is a global dependency for all builds, it makes up its own major project, which all wrapper repositories will include as a submodule.
+== "Wrapper" Repositories ==
+Each wrapper repository will include doc-base and its respective translation project as submodules.
+''doc-en Wrapper Repository Example''
+  git init phpdoc-en
+  git submodule add phpdoc-en/doc-base git://github.com/php/phpdoc-base.git
+  git submodule add phpdoc-en/en git://github.com/php/phpdoc-en.git
