RedPhoenix names good points as well. Although the tool issue can be debated, and I'm pretty sure it's possible to work the data management out in another way, this project wont come very far when there are no people standing up to organise the whole thing. As Badapple started this post, many, if not all, await actions from his side, while Badapple probably hopes that someone in the crowd waves his hand and starts the project. ( Sorry if I misjudge your attitude here, Badapple :), this way is not uncommon, and quite logical for both parties ). But this wont lead the project anywhere. The first actions need to come from the initial started, showing people that he is eager to input his time and effort into the project, and then there may be those who like to jump on the wagon.

I have jumped upon a wagon without a driver quite a few times already, and that just wont do. Usually the initial creator leaves most of the paper work aside, and visions goals that are far out of reach. Instead of taking a realistic look to the project, they kept dreaming about what needs to come, instead of actually starting something. Or, in another occasion, the team just had not enough knowledge to properly make progression. Dirty written code and badly managed art is a dead end.

Anyway, above experience holds me from jumping on this wagon right now. But I hope to see a lot of effort pushed into this, with much support to the new team like a gathering place and guidelines.
