Thanks a lot for the excellent reply.

I agree with you that momentum is the biggest hurdle at the moment, which as you said means that I'm going to have to keep things going almost entirely on my own until I start showing up on the radar, which I imagine will take a while.

As for art resources, I do have kind of a cool idea, but it'll depend on someone else being okay with it. There's a site with some excellent pixel tutorials in a foreign language. If I could translate them, I'd have something that's essentially exclusive content, at least for people who don't speak that language. I'm trying to get ahold of the guy so I can get his permission to do it. :)

I also like the idea of some pet projects, or, say, adopting or sponsoring an open source game -- I'll see if I can find someone to volunteer their project in exchange for a prominent plug on their site. It'd be good for them (access to my admittedly limited but non-zero funds for art commissions) and good for OpenGameArt (free publicity in the form of an attractive success story).

As far as attracting talent goes, I'm assuming that'll happen as the site grows. I'd like to eventually be at the point where it will be cool to contribute to this site. Wesnoth has pulled this off, but it's taken a lot of time.

Finally, with respect to game resources, I may expand in that direction, but I'm not 100% sure just yet. There are already a number of popular open source game development sites out there, so I'm not sure I'll be able to add something unique. This will be something for the future, because for now I'd just be spreading myself too thin.

Thanks again for the insight!
