If you're still looking, I'm happy to make some time to offer suggestions etc.
There are also people starting to make this kind of thing a business case. Bob McWhirter (founder of Codehaus.org) has a company called Open Xource (http://www.openxource.com) which provides consultancy on the strategy of open-sourcing your product, and obviously follow-up help on implementing said strategies. I can't comment on their services from first-hand experience, but Bob's got a good reputation in the world of open-source Java.
