This thread has some lulz and much tl;dr, but I wanted to mention my opinion on working on not-for-profit projects in general: Most importantly, I only focus on making something enjoyable and unique. I don't care about where I stand amongst others. There is no competition. There is no race. I'm creating something to achieve a purpose, not to generate popularity. If the work is good, and there is a possible audience for it, it's likely to catch attention. But if it doesn't, I don't sweat; there are often fickle and intangible reasons for such a thing (e.g. a niche that is already filled). If I achieve what I want to achieve, that's what matters. Also, co-operation is not always necessary. Many great things have been created by individuals.

Obviously, since you're trying to create a community, getting people involved is important... But the site should reel them in; you shouldn't have to.
