It's probably more helpful for both you and us if you would

 a) have your end ready (i.e. forum, mailing-lists, questions, catalog etc.)

and

 b) ensure that the results will be published under a DFSG compliant
    (equals to OSD v1.0) license so that we and the public can benefit
    from your study as well.
