I object 
No, actually people have started some community projects quite seriously. Here is an example of such a DMOD. Unfortunately I've never seen any community project that even got close to being finished. There have been instances of two people working together and finishing something, but these are usually people who know each other already.

And this project won't work out either. That's not me being negative, that's an honest prediction based on previous attempts. This project lacks even the most basic necessities, such as an experienced leader. I've made a list of problems related to this before, so I won't cover this too deeply now.

There are just too many elementary problems: If everyone submits ideas how are you going to make sure the plot stays coherent? Who are you going to approach to make the DMOD? Most developers would rather develop their own projects rather than those of someone else...

EDIT: Perhaps if you replace "then we elect some-one to make the d-mod " with "Then I'll make the d-mod" it could work out... These things don't work without a leader who's prepared to do some of the dirty work...
