If you’re hacking on a project which you think will be the next best thing, and getting traction and more people involved is important to you, I urge you to take a couple of leaves from Meteor’s book. You must have your killer feature in place before anyone’s going to take notice, but as little of the rest that you can actually get away with. When you’re ready, make sure you have the documentation, examples, screencasts in place and make it blindingly simple to get startet. Next, tell the world!
