Most attendees of the SMP workshop in Budapest are with the TDF/LibO 
now, hence likely unavailable. I'm estimating the effort to work on a 
new SMP with three to six man-months in total, hence it would require to 
have a fair number of contributers.

Yes, first topics to discuss would be recruiting contributers and 
setting up a team.

Best regards,
