David,

As we have witnessed in guifi.net, sometimes some initiatives/projects
need some iterations. So please, do not give up. Give it another try,
maybe this is the one!

And one recommendation. Reuse as much as possible of what's out there
to be able to focus your efforts in facing the particularities of your
case.

Best regards
