Re: Contests
What about contests? I notice that the Oolite mod community had a "Pimp My [Standard Issue Space Ship]" contest and that produced three or four really nice additions to the downloads.
Perhaps a discussion group could kick around ideas "we need a new race that are benign, yet annoying!", "what about a planet made entirely out of cheese?", "how about artwork rendered entirely in sepia tone?" or "let's put out requests for most spectacular shield effect graphics."
they can discuss the merits of fitting it into the _existing_ collaborative mod, including the need to squeeze out older features.
then they could vote, or they could put it to a popular vote.
this could take care of the technical/organizational issues, could permit contribution by folks not interested in process, sequential releases (with archives of older ones maintained) would permit an evolutionary perspective on the collaborative mod's game play, and contests would just be fun.

of course there would have to be some sort of prize incentive . . . over at Oolite they had a tee shirt.
