Re: [widgets] Packaging & Configuration 1.0 pre-CfC comments

In vista sidebar also, the root folder is used without any specific
intermediate folder name, and this can become very messy. For this reason I
would advocate for the intermediate folder.


I think we should push for the "i18n" naming as, even if it sounds a bit
geeky, it is becoming a standard in the javascript frameworks, and using
something else will introduce confusion.
