Yes, I think those modules would be completely sufficient for a GSoC project. 
What you would do (as described by John already) is to document the 
architecture, adding unittests, and along the way it will very quickly become 
obvious where that architecture still needs changing.

If you call each sub-directory one single module, the dependency graph is 
rather straightforward: It's the list of directories in src/Makefile.am where 
everything more bottom requires everything above it. I.e. the libqof sub-
directory requires nothing else (except the system libglib). In that sense, 
there is at least some sort of useful dependency separation in gnucash, which 
would help your project a lot.

Regards,

Christian
