Re: Big Project In Progress for FIRST: Need Programmers Who Want to Help

You might want to give a bit more details as to what the project actually is. People generally like to know what they are getting in to or what would be required of them. All you've really said so far is it will be large and the best thing to come to FIRST in a while. Both of those statements are intriguing but not going to draw genuine interest.

Having been involved in a lot of team projects and open source in the past I've found it best to write a specific mission statement of a project detailing what it will and will not be. That will give you a foundation to build a team project on.
