I agree that the current pibase is elderly and needs some "upgrades". 
Ingo Renner started with some rough ideas [1] which have to be extended 
of course. The template part is missing something like functionality we 
know from smarty - I don't want to start a fight smarty vs. TYPO3 
templating/marker scheme, but that's an issue we've to think about:
Use methods that are already available and are working or reimplement 
similar functions on our own and reinvent the wheel again.

So, let's start with collecting some more general ideas of parts that 
should and could be improved in a new "pibase 2.0".
