Hi folks,

the most important step now, IMHO, is to implement and middleware
layer with really _clean_ and strict interfaces. The current "bean"
model seems to couple database access and web interface too heavily.

For example billing: we should have some class VTIGER_Invoice which 
encapsulates evrything that belongs to an invoice. All things like 
retrieving information (accessible via object variables), add or
remove items, etc, etc, up to the whole calculation stuff should 
be handled by this class. The web frontend then just opens such an
object and only prints out its variables or calls methods.

We need very clean and robust interfaces. This is absolutely 
required for real modularization.
