Hi Asif - I don't think a DEP is the right approach. The problem isn't a controversial feature or a hard-to-design-API; it's that this is going to take a lot of time or money, and probably both. Writing a DEP won't answer the question of "how the heck are you going to find a half-dozen people who can spend a year on this?"
Or, let me ask this question in a different way. I did some analysis on what it might cost to hire a team to build a new admin. I've worked as a consultant, on similar tasks, so I have some experience costing our projects like this. At market rates, I came up with over $1 million -- which passes a sniff test given the effort involved. So to put a real point on it: how are you going to raise that money, or find the equivalent level of dedication from volunteers? If you want to see this happen, you need to answer these fundamental question. And the way to answer it is *by doing it* -- write code, raise money, build a team. Writing a DEP is going to be a waste of your time. I'm sorry if this sounds harsh, but I really want to make sure you understand exactly what you're proposing here. If you want to be successful, you need to demonstrate your ability to make progress where so many others have tried and failed.
