The document discusses plans for promoting the iRail project. It outlines needs for designers, developers, and users. It proposes campaigns using QR codes and challenges for developers. It also discusses creating a non-profit organization and business model to provide transport information to users and a way for businesses to inform users, generating funding. The overall goal is to build iRail into a living lab and reliable information source for public transport.
