I'm afraid I have to agree on this point, too.

I see the same issues. For a project of this size, there has to be some infrastructure. Someone has to be sitting in the "main coordinator's" seat. And that's going to demand a lot of their time, which probably means either a kickstarter or an investment from some going concern.

I wish I were independently wealthy and could just leave my job and take this on full-time. I haven't really done calculator development, but I've been doing software engineering for 36 years, and (back when pterodactyl's roamed the skies) actually have done some embedded work.

But (a) I'm not, (b) just can't, and (c) nobody's likely to stand up and wave a big bankroll of cash to take this kind of project to the next level. LOL.
