Hi David

I think some sort of feature->step file matching would be good.

Kyle's system[1] of "stories/stories/feature/topic.story" expanding to  
"feature, topic, feature/topic" works well as a default I think.  (I  
just like the way the story command works, I guess I'm kinda hoping  
the cucumber tool will work as a drop-in replacement.)

Doesn't seem a huge leap to go to

features/
   descriptions/
     reservations/
     schedules/
     supplies/
   steps/
   support/

;o)

Although I agree, it shouldn't be forced on anyone.

Maybe it's worth doing a quick survey of everyone here that uses  
classic/cucumber stories - how *do* you structure your story/feature  
directory?
