If the thesis is relevant at all to what you're doing now, might I suggest linking to it directly from the manifesto? Otherwise it sounds mostly like you are very excited about something, but I got almost no idea what that something is.

That's probably the biggest weakpoint of the manifesto but also kinda on purpose. While the thesis was all about "let's build something" the manifesto is a fresh start trying to answer the question "what is the problem?". The thesis is still relevant but a bit outdated and I'll probably rewrite it in multiple blog articles.

What I'm planning to use as information starting point is zells.org but it's all still in an early stage. At the moment I'm working on creating a document that visualizes the "end product" that I have in mind.

After looking at the thesis and the manifesto, I think your best bet is to create one worked example, in pseudo-code or whatever, and then see if you can get anyone on board with that.
