Thanks for your submission!
I haven't tested the keyboard yet, but we'll need some changes made first. Our build system requires a very strict file structure. Right now all your files are in release\t. You should:

• Create a folder within t called tfnalgonquin so you'll end up with release\t\tfnalgonquin
• Copy all your files into that folder.
• Then create a source folder and copy all the files EXCEPT for the following into the source folder
  • HISTORY.md
  • LICENSE.md
  • README.md
  • I don't see a tfnalgonquin.kpj file. You'll need that file to be added.
• In the end you should have:

release\t\tfnalgonquin\HISTORY.md
release\t\tfnalgonquin\README.md
release\t\tfnalgonquin\LICENSE.md
release\t\tfnalgonquin\tfnalgonquin.kpj
release\t\tfnalgonquin\source\tfnalgonquin.kmn
release\t\tfnalgonquin\source\tfnalgonquin.kvks
release\t\tfnalgonquin\source\tfnalgonquin.kps
release\t\tfnalgonquin\source\tfnalgonquin.keyman-touch-layout
release\t\tfnalgonquin\source\welcome.htm
release\t\tfnalgonquin\source\readme.htm
release\t\tfnalgonquin\source\atfn_logo_1.png

• In LICENSE.md the year should just be 2025. We don't want to go into the future until the future is here. Next time you update the keyboard you would extend the dates to that year.
  • You can delete the copyright years everywhere else: in the .kmn and .kps.
• You can delete tfnalgonquin-help.htm since it's an empty file.
  • Delete the reference to that file in tfnalgonquin.kmn AND in tfnalgonquin.kps
• In the .kps file we expect a description of the keyboard. That's on the Details tab. That information will show up on the home page of the keyboard. At a minimum you could say: "Keyboard for the Algonquin language."
• For any keyboard in the release stream we expect some documentation in the welcome.htm file. At a minimum you could add a paragraph that says: "This keyboard package has an On-Screen keyboard which shows which keys to access. For example, pressing the el key produces ō."
• We also require a help file which is used in our online help. You should:
  • Create a help folder within source. And create a file called tfnalgonquin.php. You'll end up with this:
  • release\t\tfnalgonquin\source\help\tfnalgonquin.php
  • Open that file and paste the following text in it:

<?php 
  $pagename = 'TFN Algonquin Keyboard Help';
  $pagetitle = $pagename;
  require_once('header.php');
?>
<p>Keyboard for the Algonquin language.</p>

<h2>Desktop Keyboard Layout</h2>
<div id='osk' data-states='default shift'>
</div>

If you don't want to update the documentation, we would be willing to accept the keyboard in the experimental section. However, all the other structural changes must still be made.

Thanks. Hope it's not too confusing.

• Could you rename this image keyboard small.png to use an underscore and not a space? You'll then need to update the references in the welcome.htm and in the .kps
• Could you move this image atfn_logo_1.png to the sources folder? You'll then need to update the reference in the .kps

After that I'll test the keyboard

I did make some changes, so you should pull the current files before you begin updating the keyboard again.
Otherwise, LGTM.
