I was talking to Venus about the Community Project and we reached the conclusion that it would be good to the site productivity if there were more community projects. Community projects are very beneficial to ZFGC, because of multiple reasons:
Nowadays, ZFGC has the issue that most members can not work deeply on a project because they are too busy with school or college, and some also have work. As in a community project the number of people working on the project is usually much higher, the amount of work that each member has to do is lower. Thus, everyone can help a little, even if they do not play a major role in the production. And more people would be able to start new projects, because they would not be afraid of not being able to complete it.
But why do community projects usually have a higher number of members working on them? That is because they involve the whole community, they are more organized, flexible, decentralized, and they are usually public or semi-private. The project runs less risk of getting stagnate*, not only because of the higher number of members but also because of the flexibility and interaction with the community.
Concluding, I would like to request to enable multiple community projects. As the overuse of the forum could be a problem if there were too many community projects, I suggest that there were a limit amount of available projects (possibly 5?).
PS: *The actual ZFGC Community Project did get stagnate for a few months, but I suppose it was due to specific reasons. If it was a common project (not a community one), things would probably have gotten worse and the change of leadership would not have happened the same way.
I would like to know your opinion about my idea too.
