#2 is critical. #1 is just technical leg-work.
#2 is tough to find, and to be honest, I don't know that anyone here
could say that they have the technical chops to make it happen. I
mean how many of us actually do GUI coding every day? I know I do,
but I don't think that is enough to qualify one as a leader. We also
need a vision and developer commitment.
I'd be willing to lead the project, I'm just not sure I am the right
person to do so. I have a vision, and the skeleton of a design, but
no code. I am willing, but my ability is a question mark...
If only vision and willingness weren't the easy, plentiful
parts :( Believe me, I'm in the same boat.
Hehe. Sad but true. Why do you think I am hesitant. :-)
