Comment (by adamsilverstein):

 @omarreiss Great work here, I'm very excited to see this step forward.

 I reviewed the branch in progress on your mirror and also pushed to my
 fork to run in Travis - noting that a bunch of tests fail after this
 reorgnization that we'll need to fix, I didn’t look into the reason: https
 ://travis-ci.org/adamsilverstein/wordpress-develop-fork.

 Overall this is looking really good, I have a few questions and comments:

 * I keep a bunch of stuff in wp-content, so when my 'build' step takes a
 little time to copy all the files over. Maybe `grunt watch` should skip
 cleaning/copying files?
 I see you have the media source files in a media folder under js,
 wondering if this should move down one level into a source folder so that
 as we add more build file folders they don't fill up the top level folder.

 I'll review the documentation you linked as well, thanks!
