Dear Rick,

1st of all - my full respect to even publishing your work
and exposing yourself to our bunch - not always easy :)

It's surely up to you how you utilize the decentralized revisioning system
and its really not our call to 'tell you', only to debate and share our opinion.

So the first task for somebody willing to jump into your project
would probably be to compile the code and reproduce a working binary.
When this is done, such person might be willing to create a README recipe
and do the errand of creating a new repo with source and all our usual 'crap' :))

Then you would have a fruitful collab perhaps and you would also see
how this new git thing works .. at least a little.
And then .. the real work & fun may start.

To preserve ones work, it is a good idea to spread your code around, gitlab, github, gitflic.ru even, whatever helps.
So you already did the 1st important step - potential users / coder may thank you for that.

I myself have not much time yet for this your project myself,
but perhaps others are willing.
What I find quite attracting are demo videos showing some results
and hence sweetening, lowering the pain threshold of 'jumping in'.
In case you can make a video somehow and post it here (or via good/evil whatever),
you might can attract more potential developer.

Cheers and great you keep coding & doing stuff.

EDIT: Seems you already have one, thank you philjord!
