However that is not the priority. + +The directory `pkg` is named after the same directory in the camlistore project. Since Brad is a core +Go maintainer, we thought it made sense to copy his methods for organizing Go code :) Thanks Brad! + +Because utility packages are small and neatly separated from the rest of the codebase, they are a good +place to start for aspiring maintainers and contributors.
