Help description
I am working solo on this project. This needs to change. I have a clear vision (not saying it can't be further refined) about how to make this project into something quite remarkable, but there are skills I lack and connections I don't yet have. I will describe two forms of help the project needs as A and B. With significant help with either A or B, I expect the project will mature quickly in to something the collaborators can be proud of. A: There needs to be public conversations with some academically connected people, who are willing to ask pointed questions about the project until either they can explain what they find objectionable, or the public conversation ends up explaining the project and it's possible ramifications...in depth. B: The project needs programmers who are willing to write the code that integrates the existing FOSS tools into a seamless application.
