Interestingly enough, I came across this project as well but feel like it is too complex for the general public to implement and understand. It's not easy, and I think it will ultimately fail. Think about how Wordpress has taken over the planet. We need something so easy and just works. I've been working on tackling this issue as well. I've been working on an application, similar to WP, that is easily installed, and will decentralize data allowing users to provide their data as they wish.
I'm in very early stages at this point. But this is the start of planing the seeds that will soon become FireStudio. I've started to build out a framework of solutions that will come together under one application. It all centers around data:
FireSQL - turns your SQL database into a schema-less document storeage db similar to couchdb or mongodb. It features self indexing. Allowing you to search your data based on top level keys.
FireStudio - A very basic POC of me just putting together ideas of how all of this will work together.
And many more incomplete projects that go towards building out FireStudio.
Honestly, FireSQL will probably be the more interesting parts at this point. FireStudio will wrap more structure around FireSQL. It will provide the user with the ability to create and manage collections and fields. A collection will allow you to provide access to your data via an API that is autogenerated along with the backend UI to manage your collection data. I'm thinking OAuth2 via REST.

I'd be curious to see your project if you have it in public somewhere.

Long way to go. Want to help??
Sounds interesting.
