Cool!
James Long and I have met on the IRC and have now basically already started the project. We(*) have created a section on the wiki here:
http://dynamo.iro.umontreal.ca/~gambit/wiki/index.php/Module_System
(* well, I have written the pages, James may not yet have verified them)
The system does not yet have a name because we want to wait with that until we know the team is complete.
James is not a student (anymore), and we think we are open for another core contributer, which still leaves up a possibility for one student.
We are currently wildly optimistic, and our project will get us enough building blocks in the way to make it fun and chances realistic that we hit a stumbling rock somewhere. We're out to learn the hard way all the non-working things that generations of scientists didn't have a chance of writing successful papers about.
I hope it will advance Gambit nonetheless, and I'll keep an eye on the whole thing to at least stay working in a good basic version for daily usage.
So, wish us good luck (and tell us when we go wrong)!
Christian.
