Description

We recognize that the AllenSDK has evolved organically to support many varied projects and the current organization may not be sufficient to support existing and forthcoming projects in a manner that is easy to understand and maintain. This epic describes an effort to plan, design and implement an improved structure for AllenSDK APIs.

Research direction

This is an epic to plan, design, and implement a new AllenSDK API structure, but it names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by identifying the existing API organization and the projects it must support; the work is done when an agreed structure is designed and implemented for maintainability.
