Bah, don't try to impose your standards on me. The only people who can afford to turn open source into a full-time job are those who don't have a job or whose job is to work on an open source project. Most open source projects will never find a community because they are lost in the crowd and marginally useful, at best. Even very large open source projects - remember Jelly? - can lose their communities when they prove to be dead ends or new, shiny things come along. That's life. If someone wants to just put their code out there for someone else to use or improve on, that's plenty. If it catches fire and gathers an active community, even better, but there's no sense and it's faintly ridiculous to try to pump up every little hobby project as the Next Big Thing.
