No other concrete efforts or plans that I am aware of, no.

But a quite interesting piece IMO to have included in FreedomBox!

For a feel of what is being worked on I would look here:

...and since you are now working in this, I strongly suggest that you a) 
file an ITP bugreport about it, and b) add it to 
http://wiki.debian.org/FreedomBox/LeavingTheCloud - at the bottom of 
that wiki page is a link to a detailed guide to filing such bugreport.

Well, I sure think you should consider subscribing then, to help follow 
what is going on here :-)
