Noury, I am very interested in seeing this done well. At a minimum, I'll give the result some serious abuse.

So far we're working on cleaning up the design of basic functionalities before going on. Then, we'll try to find a workaround for non-blocking calls. All ideas are welcome :-) BTW, some people (you included) proposed to help for the Ocean project. Luc and I want to thank you and we are happy that others are willing to help. We thought about the best way to integrate others help. Our conclusion is that we should first do alone (luc and me) the reference design, before integrating other developers. So, we all can work on solid foudations.
