Hi goran

I'm also really interested by the modules ;) but I never got the time to
understand them. even if I tried I always missed the point. I think that we
will need people to help.

So if you start to make a short description so that we can
 understand what is a module
    1 how class extension works (can we or not add or modify a method)
    can we via an extension modify a class definition
    2 is a module acts as a namespace
    how do we import export?
    3 how the versioning system could work?

Alexandre bergel www.iam.unibe.ch/~bergel
made a small tools to load and unload modules.

Then I think that we will have to decompose the image in big modules.
Then for each of the big modules decompose them. In the process I think that
we will need test writers and lot of people looking if we are not breaking
things. So if you want to participate I would really to work with you on
that this would be great. We can fix some objectives. I started to look at
the major shirnk because it gives also some views on the problems.
Then the registering file list is also a start to tackle some problems.

I would like to have a cohesive group of people working on that.
