So all they have is a boilerplate script that doesn’t do anything yet?

I’d rather see this as a collaborative effort between upstream rather than a “layer” of scripts, not to mention their “phase 3” is forking upstream which we really don’t need.

I’d rather see this project’s team simply working with upstream and sending PRs / patches.

Am only one person :), but if anybody is interested in helping, I would love that, I can easily add you to be a member.

Fair, I wrote that quickly as a starting point.

Noted, am still thinking on the best way to approach this "interoperability" problem.

I love your passion but I think you published on GitHub a little too soon. Rather than pitch solutions, keep it to the problem space definition for now.

Then, reach out to the upstream developers and see what their thoughts are and how you can contribute. I’m sure there is definitely space for a interoperability library that makes it easy for any creative FOSS app to integrate and enter into this open ecosystem concept but rather than inventing it for upstream, you should invent it with upstream.

Good luck and stay this passionate - the FOSS community needs people like you!
