Hi lxsameer, how nice you want to contribute!

Why not take a closer look at CEDET which is supposed to be the
primary interface for those things you are trying to enhance? Rather
than writing a new similar interface which may create extra burden
both on users and maintainers I would think it would be much better to
try to enhance CEDET the way you want it.

BTW, there is a separate list for CEDET development. You might want to
ask there. I think you might get some surprises because I suspect
CEDET is much more flexible than you think at the moment.

The file etc/TODO on the emacs sources has what you want.

Oh, and the bug database has enough stuff to keep you busy for a long
time:

It'd be good to thoroughly document the reasons for your
dissatisfaction, to help someone who may want to combine the best of
both worlds, or anyone who wants to choose between those
different alternatives.
It will also be a form of documentation of your approach (and of
EDE/CEDET's at the same time).

As mentioned, etc/TODO has some ideas, as does the bug database.
