Thank you Yacov, 
The paper seems to hold a lot of knowledge which I will benefit from. My question is: I already have built software consensus and I am willing to plugin it to fabric and check the performance and I am looking for help to make the change in Fabric in order to replace the existing Consensus.

You can look at the commits in the Fabric repository in branches https://github.com/SmartBFT-Go/fabric/tree/release-1.4-BFT (this branch is an old one, but it's easiest of all BFT branches to understand what is going on).
 
 
For more specific questions, I can be found in our chat (chat.hyperledger.org), always happy to discuss interesting stuff :-)

It's a complicated answer, and it has to do with priorities I guess?

I can say that we're currently working on bringing SmartBFT into Fabric.

Wait a couple of months...
