Hi David,
Rob
-- re open sourcing the project. One thing you'll need to figure out is how you handle incoming pull requests and who has authority to apply changes.
You won't want to just let anybody make changes - so that means you'll need to find a trusted person who can invest a fairly significant chunk of time in reviewing and accepting/declining input.
That person (or people) need to have a good overall understanding of the whole project codebase.
It takes a fairly significant investment to do this properly as if done half-heartedly then other developers who want to contribute will quickly get put off.
(There is nothing worse than doing a bunch of work for free for a project only to have that work sit un-used for weeks or months)
there could be a massive return for you if you get this to work properly - but it will take time, effort and probably money to get it going.
cheers,
Rob
