Hi there Akshay,
I've talked with a few Wikimania folks - and I think there's some interest in
this. My impression is our current system is a series of patch jobs done to evolve the
original system to our growing needs. A complete rewrite seems fitting, from what
I've seen and heard.
I'm curious if you've had a chance to speak with Wikimania folks as well -
especially the ops folks doing the web forms and such. I imagine they'd have a wealth
of opinions on what has worked and what wasn't worked thus far. I would also be
curious what some Hackathon and other event organizers might have to say. Ideally doing a
rewrite will include all the various needs (well - as many as reasonably possible..) from
these folks so more more patchwork would need to be done in the foreseeable future.
Here's the IRC channel for Wikimania and other contact info:

modules before the
database access layer?
