If you're not feeling too proprietary, hit me up on twitter. Might be some areas where we can collaborate. Either way, good luck with your project as well. I tried to not do this myself, I really did. :-)
I don't use Twitter much, but I'll definitely take you up on that when I have something a little more developed. I'm coming at this from the exact opposite direction as you (what I'm doing is closer to porting Erlang to Node than vice versa), but we're obviously thinking along the same lines— I'd love to compare notes.
