IMHO the first step need to be to make it version-able, thus taking it out 
of the DB.
Part of this is easy (UserTS), but other parts would need adoption (e.g. 
modules menu, permissions).

The end result should be, that you can install extensions like packages 
which change your TYPO3 tree into a specific application for this package, 
e.g. into a blog or into a calendar tool. The backend should then be 
stripped down the necessities of the package.

The most difficult part of this IMHO to keep the whole construct consistent 
and to not add too many new ways to learn.

Best regards
