I've changed my mind. Since you made some key-points about the project's 
e-book soon to be written, besides funding, etcetera, I will reply.

...

The e-book will be very short and no longer than 21 pages. It will 
consist of the project's focus, objective, mission, vision, issue, idea, 
initiative, work in progress, set of development guidelines, open-source 
standards, compatibility  with ruby, interoperability with other 
programming languages, and finally opportunities to help build its 
platform. The structure of it will be sort of like how other innovative 
teams have contribute to J-Ruby and Iron-Ruby. The project will be named 
similar to those subdivisions of the Ruby Programming language. Lastly, 
the internet site will be focused on making money from teaching the 
platform afterwards. I'm going to write the whole rough draft of the 
project myself beforehand, because I want it to follow a certain pathway 
of development. I know what exactly the project will ultimately create 
and how am I planning to make it similar to J-Ruby and Iron-Ruby. I'd 
rather spend my life developing for a good cause more than anything else 
anyway. By the way, I will not be asking for donations neither. I will 
use all of my own money to fund this and I do not want anyone's advocacy 
funding this. This is my own compassionate contribution to open-source 
society. Peace be upon you!
