That's exactly my point of view. The real ISSUE is to get content,
when I get contents, coordination is a kids game. 

How many new projects in sourceforge have a clear coordinator and
even a hierarchy of programmers and they're waiting "content" to 
drop from sky ? 90 %

There're two kind of content contributers. The old-style long-distance
runner that could write a huge book in some weeks. The nowadays
Internet-guy, jumping from flower to flower, with little time
(or that is what he says ). We have to get the most when that guy
comes to our flower and gives us a bit of polen or honey or something,
before he jumps to the next flower.  If we handle 
that movement of "bees" apropiately we can get a lot of "polen".

The old saga of Internet-knights is over.
