It's a little like the problem people have with venture funding these days. Money changes the game and there can be too much of it. Starting up a community project with too much money can lead to bloat and useless technology.

The first disposable camera was invented jointly during 1980s by Kodak and Fujifilm.
I don't think that it was a cheap project :)

Good stuff Jake. The first community I started was free - we used eGroups in 2000 (which soon became Yahoo Groups). This provided a great proof of concept - a way to test the waters with little financial risk. Once we got going we moved to a more brandable and sophisticated platform that still cost less than $10,000 a year.
