I'm glad you liked the work, I enjoyed making it. Right now I'm not looking
for volunteers as trying to drum up publicity for the kickstarter and a day
job consulting are about all I can manage. If I get funding then yes I will
be looking for help, but if the kickstarter doesn't make it I'll need to
spend some time on a plan B.

That being said feel free to take and modify my work on the website to your
hearts content, I'm sure I and other people will value any modification or
novel use you can put the designs up to.
