Hi Marc,

I will analyse the code base to identify the areas that can be OOPed and
where the design patterns can be applied. Additionally I will have a look at
the code segments that have already been OOPed to get a better
understanding. Hopefully I will be able to chose the scope such that it is
neither too big nor too small.

Thanks for the clarifications and the useful link.
