Ivan, This is essentially the vision I have for the project too. I wish I could say that it could be done by a determined volunteer, but the logistics are very difficult for pulling this off. It would require multiple experienced and skilled engineers working full-time, possibly paid. That isn't

You bring up a good point. It is quite difficult to maintain. Not only is it a very complex system design, but the implementation is also quite complex, containing a lot of legacy code, unfinished features, experiments, and whatever else. I used to thumb my nose at the fact that not enough
