Ok, you are right. If you see it this way, there are also no
C++ programs, since the compiled image only contains
machine code for the target processor.

Sure

Way too top level, we also have some example config files later,
that may go to ~/config/settings/*

/current/etc is no good choice

perhaps 
/current/config/os/etc with target /boot/beos/etc
/current/config/home/etc with target /boot/home/config/etc 

generally, I don't like "etc" directories at all. But I can accept that
we will need to keep them.

I would want config files into the /src/ tree.

Oh no. Soon every driver will have it own config file subdirectory
if we start it this way.

Well, this is what I don't like about etc. It just has no logical sense to put
files there.

Instead of putting global config files in 
/boot/beos/etc I would like to have global config files
in /boot/beos/config/settings/network (a directory that doesn't exist in BeOS)

and use specifc files in
/boot/home/config/settings/network

When we make a test release, we should make an installer that
removes all R5/bone/dano network files (but zipping)
so they don't interfear but can be restored.

current/docs/develop/net/* please, not dpcs

Please not

What's this? really route?

Are you sure this are the correct subdirectories in posix? I cannot check this.

I think, without the spelling error in docs, and with the exception
of the config file location, which we can decide later, this is ok.

don't know. I say yes, but what do the others say?

skip the config files for now
