Funny you mention that - I've been in the process of doing that since around October!
Short story time - after GRITS in October(the Georgia off season event where we used this, without any hitches, I might add) we decided we wanted people to actually be able to read the code before we gave it to them. Then we found out many people don't know what FMS does in general. With that in mind we're working on making a users guide for O!FMS and how to run an event from a technical aspect(such as communication/radios/APs/etc). We'd also be making a training power point so leaders can have an easier time training people. Not only do we want this to be a program that works, we want it to be a whole package that we can, if need be, hand to someone with minimal background on the day of an off season event/scrimmage and have them be able to run the event(although we don't recommend this approach).
Then build season happened. After finals/APs I'll try to finish up everything up(we're pretty close).

TL;DR - We're working on it. Coming soon to GitHubs near you

Alex
