We've worked on similar, but somewhat less ambitious projects,
and I will caution you on the 'easy' part of this. It will never be
easy. Doesn't matter who your target audience is - you're biting off
a huge project, and there will always be some people who find
what you're doing too difficult or too complex for the 'small' things
they want to do. You'll need to figure out what level of ease you want
to accomodate, but be careful about how 'easy' you label it, because it
may end up frustrating more people than it helps.
Best of luck in your endeavour. :)
