which is where we languish: practical implementation. So far no-one has
provided a proof of concept, though many got close, including you and me.

I am disillusioned at the moment. Probably someone else will tackle the
project. I hope to have provided at least the environment.

I am fully aware of it, unfortunately. It's really been two years since when I
have started waiting for someone who is able (I mean has the technical
competences) to move this project along. I don't know how long I will wait
for, but my guess is - as you have realised as well - without fully
economical backing up for some company really interested in that , who
commits a couple of developers to this or a similar project - with proposals
and designs here we will go nowhere. With attempts, maybe. But no-one seems
to have time for that, unfortunately.
Thank you for your comments anyway
Biagio
