Just to set things straight - PIMO:person is an ontology [1] and as such
was finished long time ago. To make use of this ontology conveniently, a
library is needed on top of it. This is currently "kpeople" library, which
is somewhat working for basic stuff like displaying people, but still needs
some heavy work to be fully in a state where it can be used for production
use. Unfortunately I have now _very_ limited time to work on it :/ If you
don`t want to reinvent the wheel, kpeople needs to be finished first, only
then it can be really used for the cool things you`re proposing (and I`d
love to see them too someday ;)

If you are serious about starting now, I can give you a "todo" list, what
needs to be done to make the library really usable. I reckon it shouldn`t
be more than two-three weeks of work.
