Can I suggest that a talk on architecture might be very helpful, I 
believe an attempt at this was made at GUADEC but I can't find any 
record of it.

A repeated issue seems to be patches not conforming to a Architectural 
vision/plan, however I have found it very hard to understand what that 
Architecture should look like, I think some more clarity on both how 
things "currently work" but more importantly "should work" would make 
writing and reviewing code much more productive.
