Evan, You are presenting something pretty monolithic - it could be hard to get a group of developers to work together on such a large endeavour. Can you break it down into smaller pieces, each of which are useful in themselves? If you can present something like, "here is an OT engine that can be used by any project, and will take 1mth to develop", then you have something distinctly useful, and something that is much more likely to draw in new developers, because the project HAS something they can immediately use. The best way to develop open source is to tap into developer's sense of their own self-interest. Thoughts? Upayavira
