I don't think this is the way to operate for a business enterprise as Maddox Games. All they'd get is a zillion posts of people wanting different stuff - the really important stuff would get buried under loads of "Oleg, I want ..." and "Oleg, gimme now ..." posts (even with the strictest moderation rules you could think of). They should certainly use this board here, posting a simple "We need help with this and this field. Who's up for cooperation?" and getting these people to act as kind-of external contributors.
The basic reason why I am so against this "involve everyone and his dog and do it publicly" is the experience Il-2 gave me. All of Oleg's posts simply upped the (already ridiculous) expectancy level by another notch. He's playing it much closer to his chest with SoW so I figure the procedure I outlined would work much better. And it doesn't require to check the boards every day.
