Great project, wish you all the luck and will certainly be watching for the release. I hate to be negative, but wanted to mention that on your main webpage for the project, the following sentence appears:
When the subject of gun control laws are discussed, rarely are they associated with the civil rights movement and the quest for equal rights for all.

Basic english grammar informs that "subject" is the subject of this sentence, is singular, and that "are" and "they" are incorrect. Written correctly, it would read:

When the subject of gun control laws is discussed, rarely is it associated with the civil rights movement and the quest for equal rights for all.
