Yes.

I'm approaching this at the "Human Resources" level.  We can readily 
pull in developers to work on a project when they get excited about the 
project as a whole.  We can readily get commitments in the 5-10 
hours/week range, at that level I need to be able to point to something 
akin to a "job" within the project, a role that needs to be filled.

When they get *into* the project they'll need the "starter" tasks, the 
familiarization projects, etceteras, but we need to know at the top 
level *that* you need people, and people with what skill set in order to 
direct them to the sub-project.

Have fun,
Mike
