Your 'setup' is a backup of a region. If someone want to support you and repeat your experiment, they will need to run an OpenSimulator in a network and setting up a region with your backup file (.oar).
There might be people who would like to support your project, repeating it, but just don't want the hassle with installing a full OpenSimulator environment. Maybe you get more response if you provide a hosted region to repeat your project. Regards, Marcus A.
