Keiron, It's easy for the designers to underestimate the size of the hurdle that potential developers must negotiate to get up to speed on a project of the complexity of FOP. It would be difficult if we were all sitting in the same room. Casual contributors much prefer to tinker with code that is already working; there's a shorter path to productive contributions. If you can corral a group of interested potential developers, I think you will need to spend the vast majority of your time developing the developers, rather than the design. Lots of very detailed and re-iterative design discussion, heavy use of your favourite drawing tools, and chat time.
I know I'm repeating myself, and I know that I am working on a design strand that is much farther away from the existing code than you are, but I would like to see the re-design go forward, and I think potential contributors need a lot more encouragement.
