I *think* I have created a project on GitHub and uploaded my software there. 
It is called "AccInABox".

This name probably needs a bit of explanation. "Acc" is an accountant. "Box" 
is the computer. You can set the system up with various rules and 
parameters, and then leave your staff to operate it without supervision. The 
program acts as your accountant, and will control what the staff can and 
cannot do.

At the last count, there are about 10 million things I still have to do 
before it is a working product. But the structure feels quite stable now, 
and you can do a few simple things with it, so I am ready for people to have 
a look and offer feedback.

I don't know GitHub at all, and I don't know what other information you 
need, so please let me know whether it works.

Frank
