I was looking in the same direction in the codebase. However, is there any
particular code fragment that may be, you would like to assign to me. May
be something that has relatively lesser dependencies to help me get started?

I just read through the archives about the idea. From what I gather, I
think, it will most suitable to come up with some sort of architectural
design first, may be UML and then refactor the codebase on those guidelines
and then finally integrate it as an MVC architecture. However, it sounds
like it may take a little while.
