It obviously wouldn't have to be that many. I originally thought about doing it with only a handful of people and steadily working through the list. Ie start on nymphs and do one pattern a week. If we are talking at only 5 people getting involved, it means 1/2 hour tying. Miss one week, make it up another. That way, If someone was only interested in nymphs or damsels, it would only be a relatively short term commitment with lots of variation, not just 20 of the same fly. I think it would be lots of fun. Anyone out there with a sense of adventure??

Most of us on this list balk at getting into swaps with more than 25 flies to tie, exception being Byard's sometimes annual Caddis Swap which has 100 tiers, tying 100 flies. On my swaps, I usually give 2 1/2 - 3 months just to tie 20 +- flies. I doubt you're going to get anybody to participate.
