I liked the post, it actually answered some of the questions I asked you in the email. But I would like to point out one thing about motivation. While I agree that lack of it could easily kill your project, I feel like encouragement from other people may not necessarily help. It depends on who this person is and how much of an impact he can make. Personally, I usually get motivated by two things: 1) the progress I have already made (looking back and realizing how much you've actually accomplished may be powerful) and 2) finding additional evidence (even if it's a direct result of your work) that it will take off.
