That's beautiful, thank you! 

And I'd like to add a visual example to that: 
- http://www.vimeo.com/1093745

(there's a download link, if you (like me) don't have (or don't want) Flash)

The main interest here is the time it took until other people began to 
contribute. 

The same is true for Battle For Wesnoth, Gentoo and many other big projects. 
They were started by a few people who kept improving them even though few 
people joined in during the first few years. 

Best wishes, 
Arne
