As I said before in a private email, I think those features should be
visible in the web site. So I definitely think this a good idea from the
project documentation. From the code viewpoint, it can always benefit from
modularity and in fact good code should reflect real world perception (can't
remember who was the big name who said it). But I think development itself
will lead to it. Is it important to have code already organised like this in
CVS (rather than later on as an after-thought)?
