Of course, and I was wishing to evaluate my own interest in such a project to determine a level of involvement. Speaking personally for myself, writing games with pyglet is more hobbyish then anything but I do use pyglet for other projects I take very seriously and no doubt plan to use and would like to see involvement from in one fashion or another. My viewpoint is more of a user of the pyglet library rather then as developer as well (my time spent developing libraries is dedicated to the webfront), and as long as I see pyglet staying relatively active, I plan to be using it for years to come and have a vested interest in this sort of community establishment, that's to say if project listings are non-discriminatory.
For example, I am in the middle of building my own version of a reactable (a tangible and touchscreen music mixer) where I plan to incorporate my vizi sound project, which graphically is done completely with pyglet (though i did dab in QT for a bit, a waste). At the head of such a community setup, needs to be at the least one person to direct it over the years as volunteers will pour in and out. But seeing the direction of this thread, I'll just assume there are not metrics for me to base a personal decision on since the subject is continually avoided. It's not as if I were to need anything else to start working on such a project on my own, but with-out data it's hard for me to ascertain my own involvement.
