Yes, a similar question(s) has been asked and answered.  Thus, it seems that
the better
question to ask would be the following:

I am interested in adding the following enhancement(s):

enhancement a - supporting description
enhancement b - supporting description
enhancement c - supporting description
...
enhancement N - supporting description

Thus, I was wondering, what part(s) of the system should I focus my
attention
to implement these enhancement(s)?

In short, you might want to describe what you're wanting to do for people
here
to better assist you in achieving your goal.

Good luck,

-Conrad
