+## Code Structure
+
+The core code is built into several large chunks ("minirepos", managed using [Lerna](https://lerna.js.org/)) which are versioned separately from one another, but internally all packages in a minirepo are versioned together. And outside the minirepos there are plenty of packages which are versioned independently.

+Here's the breakdown of the repo:

+* Fluid Framework Client Minirepo ([lerna.json](./lerna.json))
+  * [Packages](./packages)
+  * [Example Components](./components/examples)

+* Reference Fluid Ordering Service ("Routerlicious") Minirepo ([dir](./server/routerlicious) | [lerna.json](server/routerlicious/lerna.json))
