@freakazoid That's easier said than done, unfortunately. There's not exactly a widespread collective skill at collaborative project management (or resource pool for it), and often collaborative projects end up stalling.
That's not because the model fundamentally doesn't work - but because everything in society optimizes for the mythical man-on-a-pedestal, and all the social processes that people learn and resource distribution mechanisms are optimized for that.
Moving away from that model is going to require an active effort at teaching people to work and coordinate together, and to create the circumstances in which people *can* work on such things (given their lack of privilege, and resulting disadvantage in time and money).
