I'm interested in learning more, but more importantly what are your licensing plans?

WordPress.org is licensed under GPLv2+, which specifically states:

"Using the GNU GPL will require that all the released improved versions be free software. This means you can avoid the risk of having to compete with a proprietary modified version of your own work. However, in some special situations it can be better to use a more permissive license." [1]

So I am inclined to ask if you intend to release ClassicPress as free software or if you're going to try and keep it proprietary.

Also the About page of the project offers the answer: https://www.classicpress.net/about/
