Hi Derick,

I've added my comments, for now, in the first part of the document.

As for the latter points in the document, such as json structures and so
on, I think it might make sense to complete the Pickle evaluation, as a
first phase thing, because the way Pickle is designed may influence how
packages are structured.

I'm very enthusiastic to hear how this topic evolves :-)

Have a great day <3

Many thanks,
Paul
