Hi Lyle,
> Experience, suggestions, dos and don'ts welcome.
I'm certainly no expert and I've still got lots to learn. But here are
some of the things I think make a good project:
* they scratch an itch - ideally the project lead has the problem the
software/project is solving
* there is a changelog
* an easy learning curve for new users
* easy path to contribution etc.
* an active *positive* community supporting it
* a commercially positive IP licence - not something that has an agenda
(e.g., GPLv3)
