Hi Allen, thanks for extending your support :-D My observation as well as belief is that, if a community effort has turned out to be successful, than volunteers will flock together and the movement / organization will be able to self-sustain for quite long enough. So the issue has always been how to make sure a community effort is on the right track toward success from the get-go.
For this specific effort, at this specific stage, I think what we need right now is to add more credibility to this whole endeavor (since I'm not a familiar, high-profile figure), so I'm going to spend some time doing research to put forward a more concrete plain written down in plain text, and just go ahead with it. I believe with each progress we'll eventually attract more interested parties and once we garner enough attention and participation, we'll solve the "not-enough-time" problem. Hopefully. We'll see ;-) Again, very glad to receive your support. Will keep you posted whenever there's some new progress.
