Possibly a good resource for the team.

Producing Open Source Software
How to Run a Successful Free Software Project
by Karl Fogel
online at
http://producingoss.com/en/index.html

Karl's a good guy with serious real-world experience on a bunch of big open source projects (http://opentechstrategies.com/team).

This was originally published by O'Reilly in 2005, and Karl's been updating it to reflect new stuff (e.g., git).
The link above is to the WIP - updates to the underlying repo get pushed on checkin.

There's also a kickstarter page, to support the update - fully paid up, but a good place for updates, along with a link to
the repo for the work-in-progress

(I'm sure he wouldn't mind additional contributions, though.)
