Why is document methods located oustide of the server folder ? about pup HOT 3 CLOSED

This is part of the Meteor Guide structure. I'm not wholly in agreement with it either, but I'd like to follow that as closely as possible for now to avoid too much variance between Pup/other Meteor code folks might find in the wild (especially TMC tutorials).

Isn't it because meteor tutorial and guide use ValidatedMethod on the methods ? (Which make the call of methods.js from the client mandatory) Like on their todo app ?

I'm a bit skeptical about this, especially if methods.js for Users is located in the server folder.

That would be a question for the Meteor folks.

As I understand it, it's to keep all of your data-related code under the /imports/api directory as splitting it off to the server doesn't serve much utility. In respect to that nested /server directory, this takes advantage of Meteor's ability to ensure that code can only be imported into a server context (as opposed to using Meteor.isServer everywhere).

From the sound of the roadmap, there's a goal to move away from the /imports directory entirely, so I suppose it's a matter of time and keeping an eye on it.
