I guess we would build on Elmars MVC Approach, see if it fits. Otherwise we 
could improve it in ways which seem to be a good idea. I don't think we 
should switch to another framework, Elmar's is now available a long time, 
and not a lot of feedback has been given.

The decorator-pattern seems interesting for functionality, which you want to 
add to core/extensions, which are not available through interfaces already.
Taking the index-rules of DAM as an example, there is a plugin method which 
works very well, while you do not have to extend those classes and work 
within them. So it's more those different interfaces I have in mind.

The first step would be to find common problems which needs to be solved. Of 
course I do have a few, but not many at all, and I guess there are other 
outside having problems in that area as well.
