Plan for dissemination of the final project

The final project, much like many of my retirement activities, are more about learning new things and having fun than making money.

That said, if it turns out that there is a market for custom pumpkin carving, a services approach may result. (I am not holing my breath waiting).

Given that my work is based on many other open source efforts, I feel it is important to contribute this effort to help anyone else that may be looking at a similar problem.
