Hi Fabio I'm not sure I understand the project yet (I have to read the md on the repo).
There's no problem to have a "not ready yet" project in incubation. The focus is both to move forward on the project and grow the community. There's also no problem to have an existing project pretty close to what you are proposing, as long as projects have their own community. Let me take a look and I would be happy to chat with you to better understand the purposes of PiC and evaluate what is the community today/future.
