Can anybody advise +/- on this thing?   Does it work?

Are there any potential benefits to the user communities if
the projects collaborate in any ways?   Presuming the existing
developer communities would already be collaborating if they
had a use for it.  Maybe a new segment of user community
exists that did not exist before, to contribute code towards
interoperability, or to maybe merge some things?

Also, they seem to be asking for suggestions what to do next,
for example, build a perl interface on it,
