Nice to hear David!!

Joe Bordes and others had good insight on the question, I hope they will
find some spare time to help you in this code improvment.

Also I think it would be good for you if a vTiger team member is part of the
project so you can use him as a referent. It would benefit to everybody.

About what we expect, I think we just want to be able to add modules without
changing any code in the main trunk.
How to achieve it? Lets come back in time and have a look to the mail on the
dev list with subject: How to achieve modularization in vtiger?
People interested in this subject should read this discussion.

I will try to help out as I can.

Maybe the beginning of a new era for vTiger soon!!

Regards,
Clem
