Most projects don't have a "community" worth the name anyway, and one
probably shouldn't write a program expecting one.
That's one reason why "scratch your own itch" seems like a very good
advice for anyone interested in writing a FOSS program. It's gratifying
and encouraging if other people enjoy what you make (and even better if
they want to help you), but first make yourself happy...
