To make this work, we will need some kind of team-leader, someone who takes things in his hand, manages jobs and stuff.
He doesn't need to have a lot of power or anything, but without someone who manages all the stuff, it will be hard to be productive.

We might wait a few days to see how quickly the initial interest of everyone depletes, and then decide if it's really worth the time or if it will become a 3-man project.

Do you think we should elect some kind of leader for the programming section? Or will we just let everyone do whatever they want and potentially result in chaos?

We do need a team leader and it just depends who.

I was planning to take on the task if there was no one else is suitable since I have experience with Agile and some team management. Also even in a 1-man project I think organization is needed.

However I was also thinking having a bit of chaos since we can't be sure everyone will work x amount of hours every week. My idea was to set up a task board in Asana or Trello, split it up with milestones and then everyone can pick a task to do, finish it, and move on.

The problem right now is that the scope is not well defined so it's hard to task out. Also I'm trying to see if people like the idea of just using Solarus for the engine. That also would change the task list quite a bit.

Thank you for doing this, a task board and a github repo are a good start!

You seem pretty motivated and competent, so I would suggest you take the leadership here. Maybe we could do an election of some kind, but since you're the only one who volunteered here, we could probably even skip that. I'd like to have some more views on that, obviously.
