Scott, please allow me to offer some advice as the manager of a major open source project (the Hercules IBM mainframe emulator) for the last 10 years. Release early, release often. People will run and look at the code you put out. If you don't release code after you change it, then don't be surprised when they form opinions and make comments based on what you have released. If you want people to think about your latest code, they have to have it available. Spin a new release whenever you make a change and test it out. Once you have more than just a couple of folks working on the code, use a network- accessible version control system such as Subversion to keep everyone in sync and make the current code widely available. This has been proven, over and over again, to have the most benefit to developing a community around an open source project. That's how Hercules has a registered userbase of over 6000, and a thriving development community that's taken it far beyond what the original developer ever imagined. -- Jay Maynard, K5ZC at K6ZC port B http://www.conmicro.com http://www.k6zc.org http://www.tronguy.net http://jmaynard.livejournal.com (Yes, that's me!) http://www.hercules-390.org
