Sounds good. Just to clarify, I am not suggesting you to preclude further integrations. But suggesting to incrementally build from small and focused integrations which will make it main code bases of the projects you are working with. To an extent, use cases help to get a buy-in from developers who need to be motivated to accept your contributions into releases and maintain it (with your continued involvement).
