The guilds are great for IC efforts however I sadly see them as ivory towers and a lot of what goes on in the guilds still seems too old school authority to me.
OK, I have to comment on this. I can't speak about the GoMa, but the GoW is extremely decentralized. We show off projects and share ideas, but there is no central authority to say "you can do this" or "you can't do this". If we (as individuals) think something is a bad idea, we'll certainly say so, but those opinions are not the Guild position.
That being the case, the GoW is the
perfect place for the sort of project growth you describe. You create your project, set up your repository, then you share your ideas and try to recruit help from others.
EDIT: If this post wasn't clear: The "authority" you speak of is a myth. It simply does not exist in the GoW. We're a fairly loose organization.
