Not to stomp on your ideas, they are nice - but talk is cheap. No major work like what you described will end well, without first a refactor of the code. (And if you try to force it, the codebase will end up worse than before.)
This is dirty business. See the thread "Freenet at the Circumvention Tech Summit in Berlin" from 9th October, for a precise list on the first tasks that need to be done. There are more, beyond what is listed, and I will extend the list when someone has stepped up to do it.
