This should be possible.
How should we syncronize modules?
Select several modules in the groupmanager ans RMB->New presenter?
Or in another way?

Will be very hard, but maybe possible.
I'll give my best.

Yes, otherwise you won't get them.
After 1.0 I'll take a break and won't work so much on BibleTime, probably 
only bug fixes.
That's why I spend _lot's_ of time and it's sometimes depressing that there 
are so many users and almost no programmers.
Another reason is that I sit too much in front of my computer, this isn't 
very healthy. I don't want to get backache.
After the break I'll continue, but I'll spend less time on BT.

These are the reason why 1.0 should be almost perfect, bugfree and easy to 
use and install for _everybody_.

Please comment or you won't get your features.

> Maybe we need a place (website) to collect feature requests from users?

Yes, should be possible.
At the moment I'm learning Perl, I'll use it as exercise (If I find some 
time).
