I recently discovered Zero Install as well, it is such a fascinating approach to installation, makes it feel magical and effortless! I shake my head at all those times I clicked through those installer dialogs. Your software is particularly fascinating, its amazing that you sit between all those technologies. It reminds me of the architecture of a free/open source software I am developing to integrate between different software vendors providing solutions for dentistry called Odontogration. Considering the above, I wanted to package the integrations in a manner similar to the "connectors" you describe. I am in the preliminary stages of putting this together for my software, but I feel I have an overall working knowledge on the Zero Install system in its current form, with some ideas I want to experiment to further improve this magnificent software installation system. If you are interested, I would welcome to opportunity to meet to discuss a potential collaboration between our projects. Thanks for your time and consideration.
