[ros-users] [Discourse.ros.org] [Autoware] Splitting the Autoware.AI repository and changing the organisation

[amc-nu via Discourse.ros.org]

As a user, and contributor to the Autoware project. I am completely in favor of splitting the repository.
Having well formed, independent modules will allow users/developers to **take only the required part for a certain project/application**. 

Autoware.AI was born as a research project. Thanks to its flexibility, and ROS compatibility, It is still widely used in other robotics applications. 

Autoware also has been, fortunately, growing very quickly. However, due to its current size, number of dependencies, and interrelationships among modules. It is not easy to just take a part, plug it in somewhere else, and use it without having to compile the whole project. Self containing the modules, and minimizing the dependencies will ease its use, and interaction with other platforms.

As a developer, when creating a new feature for Autoware, or writing a patch. Having to wait for all the non related packages to complete, is in many instances desesperating :stuck_out_tongue:.
