Our admin has great technical knowledge and took care of a lot of background stuff. He worked on game stat balancing and gave us directions to add/rework mods. He did a good job, but failed at keeping the project active by keeping his role as unique bottleneck of our development cycle even when he showed up only once a month.

I guess that's all I have to say about all of that for tonight. Maybe I'll join another FOSS project in the near future, but I don't know right now.
