I agree! But I would also add, I think this project needs at least some kind of
coherent plan as to what exactly is needed before it can make any useful
headway. Coders are fine for trying out stuff, and coding the final
requirements, but they're not necessarily great at deciding what is needed, or
what works best for the users. However if we can keep that to a simple system
design (sans politics), it would be good.
