Collaboration happens when two or more people have the same itch to
scratch.  Someone thinks to himself "I've got to pass PICK data in
JSON" and starts looking for projects that do that.  It does not
happen the other way around, where you might stumble upon a project
and say to yourself, "hmm, a PICK to JSON project -- I think I'll
collaborate on that."  The PickWiki to MediaWiki project, my u2pipe
stuff, and a bunch of others have been mentioned in this list plenty
of times for people with an "itch" to take notice.  Advertising a
project does not drive thoughtful collaboration; having a genuine itch
that demands scratching does.

This goes back to my earlier point that if you want a bunch of people
actively collaborating on a project, it has to be big -- big enough to
scratch a bunch of itches.
