       I think I'm just bad at open source projects.   Oh, the coding part is fine.  It's everything else--administration, community, coordination, promotion, the shouting, and all of that.  I suck at that and it brings little joy. By analogy, just because I can play my horn doesn't mean I'd want to lead a marching band. I would not.

       @dabeaz yeah it's hard. Even with a small team it's hard.If you're managing something yourself that you use regularly, it's still really hard. Then if you try to maintain something you don't regularly use it's basically impossible.
