Personally, as far as my mod is concerned, we want to get something releaseworthy first, after that I'm probably gonna ask valve to do a little playtest with us and give us some feedback. But I think prerequisite one is releasing a public beta and get noticed. [ Which is an art in itself. We're one of the few serious mods that have never ever been mentioned in Steam news, but we're patient - our day will come :p ]
