Honestly, though, I think a shepherd would be better for the project... they're good at moving things along. :)

One thing that things like Reactor and any other community OSS project is always missing is a contributor's guide, a developer's guide, whatever... something that has at least rudimentary descriptions of how the different pieces and parts work, and work together, along with a style guide/code standards, instructions for sending your code in (if you're not a committer), and any other relevant information that someone trying to fix bugs or add features needs to know.

I think having something like that available, and having it be _very well done_ is going to make a huge difference in the amount of code we get from everyday users. If you want volunteers to help out with the code, this is going to be, IMO, critical... especially with something as complicated as Reactor.

That's my 2 cents.

Once we've decided who's going to sheppard this thing I'd make a public blog announcement and *hopefully*, some people will volunteer to help out.

I think what is really needed is, yes, a sheppard to (for instance) produce a road map and give people a bit of an incentive to 'scratch their itch' and
commit some code.
