-* art is not like software, and artists are not like developers. It can be challenging to make hundreds of artists to work together and to still have a final product that looks great. Artists (especially volunteers) sometimes don't like their work to be criticized. A nice and agreeable working environment and feeling are a must have. People will have to be polite and adult, a good effort on community management has to be done for this to work.
