Thank you for the feedback Jonas. It was helpful.

I'll take this topic off list since this is probably not the right place
for it, but just for those who emailed me asking about how to follow the
progress, I've been working on a proof-of-concept over the last month and
published it here: https://github.com/orange-org/orange

I would appreciate contributions toward growing this. Check out the bottom
of the README for ways to get involved. Thanks!
