Orson update

Orson was developed as part of my PhD research, and now that I am just working on some Minor Corrections to my thesis, it is no longer a funded project.

That fact, together with a recent trip to the Outer Hebrides has meant that the development rate has been slower of late. I will be starting a new job very soon too, so updates will continue to be less frequent.

However. I will continue to work on it, and treat is as a long-term project, not least because I use it daily myself, but also because it hasn't yet achieved its potential with regards to my research interests. So expect more updates in future!

Most recently I have done considerable work in updating the Orson code base from Vue2 to Vue3 (not published yet) and in getting rid of a lot of duplicated code at the same time.

As Orson is an open-source project I encourage others to get involved, particularly because of the new limits on my time. One of my goals is to improve the plugin system, in order to encourage plugin authorship by contributors.
